DOT allows 1,000mL container sizes, while international
regulations only allow for 500mL. If the product is flammable,
the international limit is 120mL.
International aerosol shipping regulations are largely
determined by the UN International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association
(IATA), which both work to support aviation by providing
global standards for airline safety, security, efficiency and
sustainability.
The Household & Commercial Products Association
(HCPA) has an ongoing open dialogue with the ICAO and
IATA and is looking to work on the harmonization of aerosol
regulations with allied trade associations.
In addition, HCPA has led a group of allied trade associations
in petitioning DOT’s Pipeline & Hazardous Material
Safety Administration (PHMSA) to harmonize the U.S. definition
of an aerosol and is working to further align with the
international community by allowing alternative test methods
to replace the hot water bath test and to reduce barriers to
plastic aerosols.
This is only a high-level overview and doesn’t cover all
requirements or situations when shipping aerosol products. If
you’re interested in discussing best practices as they relate to
the transportation of aerosol products by air or would like to
get involved in our regulatory harmonization efforts, please
contact me at ngeorges@thehcpa.org. Together, we’ll be able to
ensure that consumers and workers are able to obtain aerosol
products that enhance their lives in a timely manner, regardless
of the mode of transportation. Spray
