The Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009 are a set of UK regulations that implement the European Union’s Directive on aerosol dispensers. These regulations provide specific safety standards to ensure that aerosol products are safe for consumer use and to prevent accidents associated with their design and contents.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of these regulations is to ensure the safety and compliance of aerosol dispensers by setting out specific requirements for their manufacture, labeling, and packaging. The aim is to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, and injury to both users and handlers of aerosol products.

Who They Apply To:
The Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009 play a critical role in ensuring that aerosol products sold in the UK are safe for use, thereby protecting consumers and reducing the risks associated with these products.
The Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009 establish specific evidence requirements to ensure that aerosol dispensers produced, imported, or sold within the UK comply with safety standards. These requirements are designed to provide a clear audit trail from manufacture to sale, ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance. Here’s a summary of the key evidence requirements under these regulations:
These evidence requirements are crucial for ensuring that all parties involved in the manufacturing and distribution of aerosol dispensers adhere strictly to safety regulations, thereby protecting consumers and minimizing the risk of accidents.
The Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009, which implement EU standards for the safety and labeling of aerosol dispensers, include certain exemptions where the rules may not apply. These exemptions help to avoid unnecessary regulatory burdens in specific circumstances without compromising safety standards. Here’s a summary of the main exemptions provided under these regulations:
These exemptions ensure that the regulations do not unduly hinder industrial innovation, technical applications, or international trade, while still maintaining high safety standards for consumer products within the market.
