COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 94/1/EC of 6 January 1994 adapting some technicalities of Council Directive 75/324/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the relating Member States to aerosol dispensers
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/324/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to aerosol dispensers (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 10 (3)  thereof,
Whereas the safeguard clause provided for in Article 10 of Directive 75/324/EEC has been applied by one Member State;
Whereas the safeguard measures adopted are justified in view of the risks associated with the increased use in aerosol dispensers of extremely flammable propellants as substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs);
Whereas certain substances and/or preparations contained in certain aerosol dispensers are particularly flammable;
Whereas the provisions currently in force are not sufficient to prevent certain aerosol dispensers from constituting a safety hazard; whereas these provisions should therefore be adapted;
Whereas some aerosol dispensers, while containing flammable substances and/or preparations, do not present any risk of ignition, whereas a derogation from certain labelling requirements should therefore be provided;
Whereas the provisions contained in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the committee on adaptation to technical progress,
