FEA releases the third edition of its FEA Guidelines on Basic Safety Requirements in Aerosol Manufacturing which has been developed by dedicated experts from the aerosol industry.

Aerosol manufacture generally involves the use of flammable ingredients and propellants. The safe handling and processing of these flammable materials are basic requirements for our industry. FEA has taken the responsibility and the lead to continuously update a guide that provides clear and practical directions to achieve this goal.

Generally, legislation exists in EU Member States and candidate countries covering safe handling of flammable products and propellants in manufacturing facilities; and the new Seveso III Directive will apply from the 1st of June 2015.

The aim of these guidelines is, of course, not to replace the legislation, but to supplement it and provide helpful guidance to the industry.

Our ambition is to promote and support a global roll-out of this guideline to achieve one high level of safety standards globally.

This excellent guide will be helpful for you in implementing safe industrial processes and practices.
