Aerosol Testing

The Department of Transportation is seeking information from interested parties regarding aerosol testing. The goal of this project is to evaluate the safety equivalence of aerosol container designs with reduced wall thickness. The project involves reviewing approved special permits and comparing them to ASTM tests. The department is looking for vendors who can provide information on their ability to complete tasks related to aerosol testing. Some key aspects of the project include: * Evaluating the Wall Abuse Test and its representation of real-world conditions * Comparing the Wall Abuse Test to other test procedures such as ASTM D5628-10 and ASTM D1709-98 * Developing a potential test to determine the safety equivalence of aerosol container designs * Establishing uniform safety and performance standards for the aerosol industry
