CRISTINA SIERRA, Isabel  and  TRUJILLO GONZALEZ, Mary. Proposal of an analysis guide for quality control of metal containers used in aerosol products. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2014, vol.43, n.2, pp.248-264. ISSN 0034-7418.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcciquifa.v43n2.54212.

This study was conducted with the objective of developing an analysis guide for quality control of metal containers used for filling of aerosols in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, taking into account that at the national level there are no regulations for quality control of containers metal for aerosol. First, we conducted a literature review of the regulations of Instituto Colombiano de Normas Técnicas (Icontec), Consumer Specialty Products Association Guide (CSPA), European Aerosol Federation (FEA), European Standards EN, and Instituto Argentino de Normalización (IRAM). Subsequently, more critical analysis and practicality that are applicable to aerosol filling industry were selected and technical feasibility was confi rmed for various metal packaging with a mouth diameter of 25.4 mm, to develop a unified protocol quality control of these metal containers.

Keywords : aerosol; protocol quality; container for aerosol.
