Full title and description

GOST 32481-2013 — "Товары бытовой химии в аэрозольной упаковке. Общие технические условия" (Goods of household chemistry in aerosol package. General specifications). The standard establishes general technical requirements for household chemical products supplied in metal aerosol containers with propellant, addressing safety, environmental protection and truthful consumer information.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard sets mandatory or recommended general specifications for composition, packaging, marking, safety and test methods for household chemical goods in aerosol packages. It covers requirements intended to protect human health and the environment, to ensure packaging integrity and to prevent misleading consumer claims. The document is used as a baseline for product technical documentation, conformity assessment and laboratory testing.

Scope

The standard applies to household chemical goods packaged in metal aerosol containers with propellant. It covers general technical requirements for product safety, physical integrity of aerosol packaging, allowable pressures and propellant contents, labelling and consumer information, requirements to prevent misleading claims, and testing methods for performance and safety. On the territory of the Russian Federation the standard may also be applied to insecticidal aerosols, rodent control agents, disinfectants and antiseptics in aerosol packaging as specified in national notes and amendments.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and classification of household aerosol products (types and categories covered).
• Packaging integrity and materials: requirements for metal aerosol containers, valves, closures and compatibility with contents and propellant.
• Propellant and pressure limits: allowable excess pressures at specified temperatures and safety margins for storage and transport.
• Labelling and consumer information: mandatory marking, safety warnings, composition indications and instructions for use to avoid misleading consumers.
• Safety and environmental protection: requirements to minimize risks to health, fire/explosion hazards, and environmental impact of propellants and emissions.
• Sampling and test methods: procedures for sample selection, thermal and mechanical tests, leakage checks, content evacuation degree and other performance tests.
• Conformity and normative references: linkages to referenced GOSTs and test methods used to verify requirements.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and formulators of household aerosols, packaging and valve suppliers, product development and quality assurance laboratories, third‑party testing bodies, conformity assessment and certification organizations, regulatory authorities and importers/exporters who must ensure compliance with interstate or national technical regulations. Product managers and technical writers use the standard to prepare technical specifications, safety data and labelling.

Related standards

Normative references typically cited within GOST 32481-2013 include other national/intrastate GOST documents for test methods, packaging, measurement and safety (examples: GOST 5208, GOST 6006, GOST 13841, GOST 28498 and related standards for aerosol testing and materials). The standard supersedes or updates earlier related documents (for example it is related to or replaces parts of earlier GOST R documents like GOST R 51697-2000 in scope). Users should consult the normative reference list inside the standard for the complete set.
