Dimensions of the neck finish for glass aerosol containers

Scope of application

This data sheet specifies the dimensions of the neck finish of glass aerosol containers and pumps to ensure complete tightness of valves or pumps with finishes as defined in EN 14849 - AEROSOL CONTAINERS - GLASS CONTAINERS - DIMENSIONS OF AEROSOL VALVE FERRULES. It applies to moulded glass containers with neck diameters of 13mm, 15mm, 17mm, 18mm and 20mm. This data sheet is intended to serve as a basis for the revision of the existing EN 14854 - GLASS PACKAGING - DIMENSIONS OF NECK FINISHES FOR AEROSOL AND SPRAY GLASS CONTAINERS standard, which will be published in late 2021. The standard replaces the GME40.05 data sheet, and therefore it is deleted from the Cetie library.

WG chair: Lorenzo PASQUALI - BORMIOLI LUIGI S.p.A.
This joint group aims to produce dedicated documentation on glass flacons for the cosmetics, perfume, and pharmacy sectors:
  • Cetie 'GME'* neck finishes data sheets concerning glass crimping neck finishes (FEA), screw neck finishes, neck finishes for pumps and snap-on neck finishes, etc.
  • All data sheets of the DT15 series, identifying tolerances and standard test methods applicable to molded glass flacons;
  • Data sheets concerning critical visual defects of flacons, neck finishes nomenclature, etc.
  • Guide of crimping recommendations.
*Initiated by the glass industry in the 1960s, the acronym 'GME' stands for 'Glass Manufacturing Experimental'. The idea was that Cetie, as an unofficial standards body, would only publish 'experimental' data sheets, before submitting these to the official standards bodies. At the same time, in the USA, the acronym 'GME' was also used. As the original meaning was lost over time, this nomenclature for Cetie's glass finishes documents has been, later on, applied to the PET finish data sheets.
