2 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: JEAN BLOTTIÈRE 

By reading the following reports from our Director, 

Sue Rogers, and my fellow committee chairmen, you 

will see that 2005 was a challenging but successful year 

for all the team involved with BAMA. 

Chairman’s Report 

The 2004 UK aerosol filling statistics have 

shown that, despite some filling activity moving 

to lower cost base countries in Eastern Europe, 

the British aerosol industry has been able to 

maintain its ground. The UK is still the 

European market leader in the aerosol industry, 

filling over 28% of all European aerosols and 

this is certainly an achievement we can be 

proud of. The 2005 figures were still being 

collated while I wrote this report, but based 

on all the issues that have been tackled by 

BAMA in 2005 and discussions held during 

our various committee and member forums, 

I can confidently say that our industry is still 

strong and very pro-active. 

In 2005, the Executive Committee’s main goal 

was to scope out the industry’s strategy to ensure 

future success under the umbrella of ‘Sustainable 

Development’. The work has involved all the 

committees and sub-committees, which have been 

reorganised in line with the FEA format. We started in 

June by briefing member CEOs on our plans, and 

after an effective away day and various meetings, 

we have taken stock of the major issues facing our 

industry in the future and are well on our way to 

implementing an appropriate action plan. The strategy 

will of course be a dynamic one which will allow us 

to adjust our actions in line with forthcoming events 

or legislation. 

I would like to address my thanks to all our members 

for their support during last year, and hope that 

our results will encourage them to be as supportive 

in 2006. I am also particularly thankful to the 

participants of all the committees, working groups 

and my fellow committee chairmen for their invaluable 

contribution, without forgetting the committee members 

who retired last year and all the newcomers. 

Finally, I wish to say a big thank you to the BAMA 

dedicated team headed by Sue Rogers, without whom 

all our results would have been impossible to achieve. 

By reading the following reports, from our Director, 

Sue Rogers, and my fellow committee chairmen, you 

will see that 2005 was a challenging but successful 

year for all the team involved with BAMA. We have 

managed various indoor air quality and regulatory 

issues impacting our industry and we are still focusing 

our time on the EU Chemicals policy (REACH), the 

regulations on F-Gases including HFC use in Aerosols, 

and the Aerosol Directive. BAMA has tapped into the 

wealth of expertise offered by its members to present 

unified industry views on all items to key stakeholders.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT: SUE ROGERS 3 

The long term identification and management 

of issues is a key part of the service and added 

value which we aim to provide to our members. 

Director’s Report 

‘A valid criticism of many trade associations is 

that they are too concerned with short term 

issues and therefore fail to influence the 

climate of opinion which a few years down the 

track will generate more short term issues. 

The good trade associations are engaged in 

fire prevention as well as fire fighting.’ 

This exactly fits our long standing philosophy in BAMA. 

The long term identification and management of issues is 

a key part of the service and added value which we aim 

to provide to our members. The quote is taken from a 

recent report by Mark Boléat, a well known expert in the 

management and governance of trade associations. He 

was commissioned to review high level representation of 

the chemicals industry, looking at the roles of the Chemical 

Industries Association and the members of the Alliance of 

Industry Associations, the ‘AIA’. 

The AIA is an informal group of associations representing 

sectors like ours which use chemicals in their products, 

but are a part of the consumer goods market rather than 

the chemicals supply chain. We have been working 

together since the early 90s. The member associations 

group together as necessary to manage issues of particular 

importance to their sectors. This helps prevent the 

duplication of resources and to share expertise. During 

the 90s BAMA led the activity on behalf of the group on 

the SACKI (‘solvent abuse can kill instantly’) warning; 

recently the Directors and technical staff of all the AIA 

members have worked together on the requirements 

of REACH. Boléat’s conclusion was that the informal 

links between the AIA members are “an excellent example 

of how trade associations of their own volition cooperate in 

a way that benefits all of them yet at a minimal cost”. 

The overarching issues such as health and 

environment affect many of our sectors and we 

continue to develop ways of dealing with them 

effectively. For the last two years we have been 

working very closely with CTPA and UKCPI on indoor 

air quality issues. We have developed a simple web 

page to direct internet users to our own web sites if 

they are looking for information from industry on

these issues. Previously, internet searches tended to 

yield only one side of the debate. We have also 

widened the networking activity to include the British 

Fragrance Association, whose products are common 

to us all and their active involvement is a vital part of 

the future management of indoor air issues. 

The popular negative perception of ‘chemicals’ is central 

to many of the issues and the work we are doing to 

develop a sustainable development strategy for the sector 

will be part of the way we address that. In 2006 we shall 

continue to work on this long term initiative and will 

begin to involve the BAMA committees more and more 

in the process. As part of the strategy we are developing a 

Message Matrix which will form the core of our external 

communications on aerosol products. 

Equally, we do not neglect the other core activities 

of providing practical information and guidance to 

our members. A lot of work has gone into developing 

several guides this year such as the document 

‘Are YOU Getting Ready for REACH?’ BAMA, through 

Paul Jackson, has played an important role in the 

PRODUCE (Piloting REACH on Downstream Use 

and Communication in Europe) study, a practical 

run-through of the REACH process. Information

Tallon International; and Sumitomo Chemical (UK). 

Three members also left during the year bringing the total number of 

BAMA members to 66 at year end. 


from BAMA’s database and exposure model proved 

invaluable and we are building on that in order to 

provide a service in the future. From the experience 

of the PRODUCE study, this will be a significant and 

unique benefit to all members, whether large or small. 

I would like to thank the members who have been 

so involved in developing and presenting a new 

practical training course on propellant safety, which 

is proving popular. 

I would also like to thank all our members for their 

support and especially those on our committees 

for their hard work; and all my staff, who work 

extraordinarily hard. And I want to single out 

Vic Hyde who retired at the end of 2005. Vic has 

been a real stalwart of the industry, BAMA and 

FEA for many years, and his knowledge, 

understanding and expertise will be greatly missed. 

We wish him every happiness in his retirement.

Committees on their 

achievements in 2005. 

Reports are completed by 

the Committee Chairmen. 

AEROSOLS 2007 – THE THEME OF WHICH IS 

‘PROPELLING AEROSOLS WORLD-WIDE’ 

The industry prospectus for Aerosols 2007 says it all 

and our decision to use the vibrant city of Manchester 

is looking more comfortable by the day. Our chosen 

Conference Organiser, Concorde Services Ltd, has set 

to work already and on our stand at the FEA Congress 

in Athens in September 2005, they managed to sell 

some 40% of the stand space - two years ahead of 

the event. As already mentioned, they have also 

produced an excellent industry prospectus which 

reflects the level of creativity and innovation going 

into the planning of this event. 

We are determined to present a new format for the 

Congress itself while still adhering to the main theme 

and to the environmental, social and economic issues 

affecting our industry, which are covered by the phrase 

Sustainable Development. Additionally, we are including 

the first international FEA Aerosols Industry Awards 

to recognise and reward the skills within our industry. 

More details are available on the event’s website 

www.aerosols2007.co.uk. 

The work programme is building and the benefits of 

a strong committee will allow us to spread the load 

amongst the members but our thanks go out to the 

full time staff of BAMA for their continued help and 

commitment. This will be a truly memorable 

occasion for all the industry.

The Commercial and Planning Committee has met 

four times in 2005. 

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 

The Committee continued to focus on BAMA’s 

Sustainable Development approach. A questionnaire 

was developed and issued in order to get some base 

data for the commencement of our sustainable 

development journey. A CEOs’ meeting was held in June 

in order to canvass support for the approach, and an 

Executive Committee Away Day was held in the Autumn 

to revisit our strategy. This final event helped in 

crystallising our efforts and priorities have now been 

set for our 2006 activities. 

BAMA STANDARD 

Issue 2 of BAMA’s Standard for Consumer Safety 

and Good Manufacturing Practice continues to be used 

widely as a reference tool. Audits were carried out at 

component suppliers and a distribution facility in order 

to test the process. No formal verifications have taken 

place yet but it has been agreed that external ISO 9001 

auditors can be used to verify certain modules of the 

Standard. Work will start in 2006 on Issue 3 which 

will be launched at the FEA International Aerosol 

Congress and Exhibition in 2007. 

FINANCIAL PLANNING & 

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT 

The Committee reviewed the subscription rates and, 

as a result, subscriptions were increased in line 

with inflation. 

BAMA TRAINING 

BAMA courses remained popular during 2005. 

A new course on the Safe Handling of Aerosol 

Propellants was launched and, in total, five BAMA 

courses were held during the year. 

CHEMICALS REGULATORY FORUM 

BAMA is a member of this key Forum established 

by the DTI and The Cabinet Office. As part of its 

work, a study is underway to consider the cumulative 

burden of regulations on companies in our sector. 

The Committee recommended that BAMA should 

contribute to the study. We had a positive response 

from membership and data gathering will commence 

in early 2006.

BAMA has

other trade 

associations to 

set the record 

straight about 

aerosols and 

air fresheners 

following 

misleading 

press publicity. 

The PR Group met three times in 2005. 

SUPPORTING BAMA MEMBERS 

BAMA continued to drive and develop the annual 

programme of Events and Training. The two day 

Spring and Autumn BAMA Forums were well attended 

and we were delighted to welcome expert speakers 

covering such a broad spectrum of aerosol-related 

subjects. The 2005 AGM and Annual Lunch was 

held on 23 June. Training courses on the Introduction 

to Aerosol Technology, Safe Handling of Aerosol 

Propellants, Aerosol Labelling, and the Transport 

of Aerosols took place. These BAMA courses are 

extremely popular and we particularly thank all those 

members that assist in the running of the courses. 

Four new BAMA Guides were launched during the 

year on Transport; Packing Filled Aerosols Safely; 

Warehousing; and Recycling Empty Aerosols from 

Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Premises. 

Publication of the quarterly member update, Press 

for Success, continues and we are pleased that 

this is recognised to be such an important vehicle 

for ensuring members are kept up-to-date on all 

matters affecting the industry. 

PROMOTING INNOVATION 

As part of our drive to encourage innovation within the 

industry, the sponsorship of the British Design and Art 

Direction (D&AD) Student Design Awards culminated 

with judging in late April and the Awards Ceremony in 

July. The aerosol brief challenged students to design an 

aerosol product ‘that will decrease the stresses and 

strains of modern life or increase the quality of an 

experience’. We were delighted that the winners of our 

aerosol category, a team of students from Central Saint 

Martins College of Art and Design in London, then went 

on to win the Overall Design Award and the prestigious 

Yellow Pencil as D&AD Winner 2005. The winners and 

runners up presented their concepts at the Autumn 

BAMA Forum. We plan to maintain our involvement with 

the D&AD Awards, launching an aerosol brief in April 

2006 for the 2007 Awards and are investigating further 

options of developing our links within the design field. 

Two further issues of Aerodynamics were produced, 

presenting the best in aerosol innovation and new 

product technology. These newsletters offer a valuable 

opportunity to showcase new technology and highlight 

new developments to both packaging decision makers 

and the press. 

Robert Opie launched his new Brands, Packaging 

and Advertising Museum in Notting Hill, London. 

Apart from the obvious nostalgic trip through 

packaging history, the Museum features a Metals 

Packaging Display, part-sponsored by BAMA, which 

showcases why the aerosol is still relevant today. 

AEROSOL RECYCLING 

The BAMA campaign to promote recycling of 

aerosols through local authorities has continued 

and we are delighted that now over 75% of local 

authorities recycle aerosols. We have taken all 

opportunities to promote this and will further 

investigate how we can assist in promoting the 

recycling of aerosols. In conjunction with this work 

we printed and promoted a new Guide: recycling 

empty aerosols from industrial, commercial and 

institutional premises. 

WORKING WITH RETAILERS 

BAMA continued to drive its direct communication 

link with the major retailers and two meetings of 

the Retailers’ Liaison Group took place within the 

year. During this meeting we were able to update 

the retail contacts on legislative and regulatory 

developments, alongside recent aerosol issues. We 

will continue this contact in 2006.

WORKING WITH THE PRESS 

Maintaining our focus on monitoring media attention 

concerning aerosols has continued. A media breakfast 

was held in July 2005, followed by a factory visit to 

one of our members. These were both valuable 

opportunities to promote many of the developments 

within the industry. BAMA has for most of this year 

been hard at work, alongside other trade associations 

such as UKCPI and CTPA, to set the record straight 

about aerosols and air fresheners following misleading 

press publicity about these products. 

The VSA Committee met three times in 2005. 

Thanks are due to Committee members for their 

continued support on this important issue. Special 

thanks are extended to external members Warren 

Hawksley, Richard Ives, Steve Lambert and John 

Ramsey for the passion and energy they bring to 

the Committee. 

SPONSORSHIP/PRESENTATIONS 

During 2005 the Association made a number of 

sponsorship contributions. In 2004, with BAMA 

support, Re-Solv redeveloped their successful on-line 

training course for professionals who are dealing 

with VSA. In 2005 BAMA followed this up with 

support to promote the course to users. BAMA also 

again provided funds to the Scottish Drugs Forum for 

their VS Focus newsletter. In addition, BAMA made 

a number of presentations highlighting industry 

efforts to tackle VSA, most notably at LOST and 

Solve-It conferences. 

VSA STATISTICS 

The 2003 St George’s report on VSA fatalities, 

released mid 2005, revealed that in 2003 there 

were 51 deaths in the UK associated with volatile 

substance abuse. This is the lowest annual total 

recorded since 1983. The report ‘Trends in Death 

Associated with Abuse of Volatile Substances 

1971-2003’, which was prepared for the 

Department of Health, describes trends in death 

associated with the abuse of gas fuels, aerosols, 

glues and other solvent-based products. 

...in 2003 there 

were 51 deaths 

in the UK 

associated 

with volatile 

substance abuse 

(five aerosolrelated 

deaths). 

This is the lowest 

annual total 

recorded 

since 1983. 

In 2003, butane from all sources, predominantly in 

the form of cigarette lighter refills, accounted for 40 of 

the 51 deaths (there were five aerosol-related deaths). 

Of the nine volatile substance abuse deaths in 

under 18 year olds in 2003, six were associated

Environment 

The Environment Committee met five times during 

the year. There were also meetings of the Scientific 

Panel and the Aerosol Ingredients Working Group. 

BAMA representatives were also heavily committed 

to the European Aerosol Federation (FEA) 

Environment Committee, the VOC Working Group, 

the HFC Working Group, the Aerosol Ingredients 

Working Group, and Integrated Product Policy

with butane cigarette lighter refills, prohibited by 

legislation for sale to under 18s. In 2002, there 

were 24 deaths in under 18 year olds, of which 15 

were associated with butane cigarette lighter refills. 

Deaths were generally sudden and in 2003 were three 

times more common in males than females. For both 

adults and children, volatile substance abuse leading 

to death usually took place in the home. 

As pointed out in previous Committee reports, the 

VSA Committee feels strongly that to reduce the 

number of deaths requires a concerted, integrated 

effort between experts and the government. 

STAKEHOLDER FORUM 

The Department of Health has produced a Volatile 

Substance Abuse framework, enlisting other 

Government departments in a cross-government 

initiative. As part of this framework, four priorities 

were identified: 

■ better education 

■ dealing with VSA better locally 

■ minimising the opportunities for abuse 

■ research 

VSA Committee members are actively involved in the 

working groups set up to address these priorities. 

INDOOR AIR QUALITY 

This topic continued to be a major issue and attracted 

considerable media attention, driven by various 

consumer groups and other NGOs. More recently, 

the European Scientific Committee on Health and 

Environmental Risks (SCHER) was asked by the 

European Commission to review some of these 

reports. BAMA plans some new studies which it 

hopes will provide invaluable defence of our 

products and will also help contribute to some 

issues under the REACH programme. 

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS 

The EU Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution was 

published this year, and although it did not specifically 

call for reductions in VOCs from consumer products, 

the supporting draft Clean Air For Europe (CAFÉ) 

Directive, does refer to the Decorative Paints Directive, 

which does set VOC content limits. Some countries, 

notably Belgium and Holland, are continuing to look 

hard at how they can further reduce their VOC 

emissions in order to comply with their obligations 

under the National Emissions Ceiling (NEC) Directive. 

The Dutch Government-sponsored IVAM Study on 

reducing VOCs from cosmetic and cleaning products 

was published, suggesting that some VOC reductions 

could be achieved from these categories of products. 

However, the Dutch Government stated that it would 

not act alone and would only seek regulation on an

EU-wide basis, as an overall part of the planned 

revision to the NEC Directive. The FEA VOC Working 

Group continues to work hard to have a robust 

defence to any challenges that may arise, and is 

now working jointly with the AISE and COLIPA VOC 

Committees on this issue. 

CLIMATE CHANGE 

The major focus during the year was once again the 

Fluorinated Gases Regulation under the European 

Climate Change Programme. The use of HFCs in 

‘novelty’ products will definitely be outlawed. 

However, following major lobbying by BAMA and its 

German counterpart ‘IGA’, uses in technical products 

will be preserved on the grounds of safety and lack 

of suitable, technically feasible alternatives. It is likely 

that the F-Gases Regulation will be implemented in 

2006, with the ban on HFCs in novelty products 

coming into force in 2009. Some Member States 

will be allowed to keep more stringent national 

legislation, which may affect some technical 

products in those countries. 

PACKAGING & PACKAGING WASTE 

Importantly, BAMA continues to support the recycling 

of empty aerosol cans, and is happy to report that now 

more than 75% of Local Authorities accept aerosols as 

a part of their recycling operations. 

EU CHEMICAL POLICY 

In late 2005, the EU made huge progress with 

the new European Chemical Regulations, REACH. It 

is now expected REACH will begin implementation 

in late 2007. Correspondingly, a huge amount of 

work has been going on within BAMA following 

the deliberations at the EU, and the various 

activities under the European Commission’s Interim 

Strategy. In October, BAMA published a guide 

‘Are YOU Getting Ready for REACH?’, as a support 

to members, in raising the awareness of REACH 

and the actions that companies should be taking 

now in preparation. 

The BAMA Aerosol Ingredients Working Group and 

the Scientific Panel have led the work and adopted a 

strategy of collecting relevant data on key ingredients, 

and working on improving the BAMA Exposure Model. 

This information will be fed into the FEA Aerosol 

Ingredients Working Group which has also been active in 

collecting data on 10 key aerosol ingredients to support 

the development of appropriate risk assessments. 

INTEGRATED PRODUCT POLICY (IPP) 

This issue continues to develop rather slowly in the 

EU, although there appears to be a renewed interest 

in the use of Life Cycle Analysis in IPP, as a tool that 

can be used to identify environmental impacts. IPP 

aims to achieve continuous environmental improvement 

to products and services, with a focus on Life Cycle 

Analysis, Environmental Labelling and Green 

Procurement. BAMA’s involvement is through the 

FEA IPP Working Group which is active in preparing 

to respond to any work in this area. 

On behalf of BAMA, I would like to extend my 

grateful thanks for the support and expertise of 

all those members of the Committee and Working 

Groups for the efforts they put in to further the 

environmental interests of our industry. We lost a 

number of committee members during the last year 

and we would warmly welcome any new member 

who wishes to help us improve the environment 

for all of us. Particular thanks go to Vic Hyde who 

retired at the end of the year following 42 years 

working for L’Oreal and eight years as Chairman of 

the BAMA Environment Committee. We wish Vic all 

the best for his retirement. 

... now more 

than 75% of 

Local Authorities 

accept aerosols 

as a part of 

their recycling 

operations.

Operational Safety 

The Operational Safety Committee was formed in 

2005 as a result of the reorganisation of the BAMA 

committee structure. Within our remit we have all 

manufacturing and distribution safety issues and the 

difficult area of Transport of Dangerous Goods. Therefore 

most members have a manufacturing or distribution 

background and come from the previous Technical 

Committee and working groups on Warehouse Safety 

and DSEAR that performed so successfully in the past 

to protect our industry and our employees. As a 

Committee we hope to maintain the enviable BAMA 

reputation for providing authoritative and thorough 

advice to our members and the respect that we have 

earned from authorities like the HSE and Department 

for Transport (DfT). We are now aligned to the FEA 

committee structure and our mission is clear, to 

support our members on Operational Safety matters. 

During 2005, regulations to implement ADR/RID 

2005 were put in place in the UK. This cleared away 

UK specific legislation and brought us into line with 

much of the rest of the world. BAMA is working with the 

DfT to develop a code of practice for how companies 

may apply for authorisation to implement an alternative 

to the hot water bath test before this facility becomes 

fully available by law in 2007. The Committee is 

watching developments carefully regarding proposed 

restrictions to the Limited Quantity concept. With the 

constant and much valued support of Martin Castle 

of Pira International and through FEA, BAMA is in a 

strong position to positively influence the outcome of 

these discussions. 

The 3rd edition of the BAMA Guide to the Safe 

Warehousing of Aerosols was published in May; many 

thanks to the working group who brought this together. 

of the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations 

(PPC) on the aerosol industry. After careful negotiation 

with Environment Agency inspectors, BAMA was 

able to steer a path through the legislation that 

largely excluded the core of the industry from the 

regime. A guide was speedily published for members 

towards the end of the year; many thanks to the 

Working Group for this success. It is with regret that 

we say goodbye to Ian Davies who has left the 

aerosol industry to pursue his career elsewhere. 

Work to develop a test method for accidental 

actuation through applying a top load continued. In 

Europe, the FEA expressed an interest in adopting 

this work with a view to creating a standard for 

the industry. 

The Committee also started looking at suitable 

ways to measure the effectiveness and performance 

of safety management systems. This was as a direct 

result of the comments from the Association of British 

Insurers who said that the BAMA Standard is a useful 

document but needed to be validated through 

measurement. One area that has potential and is 

being studied is the web-based health and safety 

performance indicator tools recently published by HSE. 

The Committee has also been active in the development 

of a project to study the effectiveness of High Expansion 

Foam to extinguish aerosol fires in warehouses. A Project 

has been initiated through FEA and a consortium of 

industry members is being created to manage this 

activity. BAMA, through its Operational Safety 

Committee, is helping with the development of the 

project and the creating of the consortium. 

During the year, a Working Group was formed under 

the chairmanship of Ian Davies to look at the impact

Packaging & Contents 

This was the first year of operation for the Packaging 

and Contents Committee since it was formed by the 

amalgamation of the previous Regulatory Affairs and 

Technical Committees. Activity for the year concentrated 

on the proposed amendment to the Aerosol Directive 

and associated issues. 

AEROSOL DISPENSERS DIRECTIVE (ADD) 

At the beginning of 2005 the European Commission 

agreed to proceed with the proposed amendment to 

ADD under the procedure for Adaptation to Technical 

Progress. Good progress has been made during the 

year and most of industry’s proposals look likely to be 

included in the amendment. During the consultation 

with Member States and the public consultation phase 

of the process, some suggestions were made which 

would have been unhelpful to industry but these have 

been largely rejected by the Commission. One or two 

items remain outstanding but we are confident there 

will be a satisfactory outcome and the process should 

be completed during 2006. 

PRESCRIBED QUANTITIES (RANGES) DIRECTIVE (PQD) 

The Commission continued with the process of 

repealing this piece of legislation. This is an important 

issue for the aerosol industry as it permits the declaration 

of contents by volume only for the majority of aerosol 

products which is the preferred approach for most 

marketers. Article 8 of ADD requires declaration 

of contents by weight and volume and this part of 

the Directive cannot be amended under the ATP 

procedure. This would require amendment via 

a co-decision process involving the European 

Parliament which can be very protracted, so we 

are anxious to avoid following this route. Thus the 

maintenance of PQD in some form is important to 

the aerosol industry. The Commission is sympathetic 

to our case and although the situation is somewhat 

confused at present, we are hopeful that the issue 

will be resolved to our satisfaction. 

PLASTIC AEROSOLS 

At present, ADD is not aligned with the regulations 

for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road 

and Rail (ADR/RID) for plastic aerosols, in that the 

former only allows a maximum capacity of 220ml 

whereas the latter allows a capacity up to 500ml. 

At this stage, FEA does not consider there is 

sufficient safety information to support an increase 

in size to 500ml within ADD, so a Task Force has 

been set up to review the situation and generate 

the required data.

of the Association and of the surplus or deficit of the 

Association for that period. In preparing those financial 

statements, the Executive Committee is required to 

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply 

them consistently; 

• make judgements and estimates that are 

reasonable and prudent; 

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern 

basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 

Association will continue in business. 

The Executive Committee is responsible for keeping 

proper accounting records which disclose with 

reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position 

of the Association and to enable them to ensure that 

the financial statements comply with the Companies 

Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding 

the assets of the Association and hence for taking 

reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of 

fraud and other irregularities. 

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF 

INFORMATION TO AUDITORS 

So far as the Executive Committee is aware, there is no 

relevant audit information (as defined by Section 234ZA 

of the Companies Act 1985) of which the Association's 

auditors are unaware, and each Executive Committee 

Member has taken all the steps that he or she ought 

to have taken as an Executive Committee Member in 

order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant 

audit information and to establish that the Association's 

auditors are aware of that information. 

AUDITORS 

The auditors, Cooksey, Perry & Co, will be proposed for 

re-appointment in accordance with Section 385 of the 

Companies Act 1985. 

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

The Executive Committee is responsible for preparing 

the financial statements in accordance with applicable 

law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted 

Accounting Practice. 

Company law requires the Executive Committee to 

prepare financial statements for each financial year 

which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the 

special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 1985 

relating to small companies.

FINANCIAL REPORT AND STATEMENTS 15 

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of British Aerosol Manufacturers' Association 

We have audited the financial statements of British 

Aerosol Manufacturers‘ Association for the year ended 

31 December 2005 on pages 16-19. These financial 

statements have been prepared in accordance with the 

accounting policies set out therein and the requirements 

of the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities 

(effective January 2005). 

This report is made solely to the Association's members, 

as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the 

Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been 

undertaken so that we might state to the Association's 

members those matters we are required to state to 

them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept 

or assume responsibility to anyone other than the 

Association and the Association's members as a body, 

for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions 

we have formed. 

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF EXECUTIVE 

COMMITTEE AND AUDITORS 

As described on page 14, the Association's Executive 

Committee is responsible for the preparation of financial 

statements in accordance with applicable law and 

United Kingdom Accounting Standards. 

Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements 

in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory 

requirements and International Standards on Auditing 

(UK and Ireland). 

We report to you our opinion as to whether the 

financial statements give a true and fair view and are 

properly prepared in accordance with the Companies 

Act 1985. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the 

Report of the Executive Committee is not consistent 

with the financial statements, if the Association has not 

kept proper accounting records, if we have not received 

all the information and explanations we require for our 

audit, or if information specified by law regarding 

Executive Committee remuneration and other 

transactions is not disclosed. 

We read the Report of the Executive Committee 

and other information accompanying the financial 

statements and consider the implications for our 

report if we become aware of any apparent 

misstatements within it. 

BASIS OF AUDIT OPINION 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International 

Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the 

Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, 

on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts 

and disclosures in the financial statements. It also 

includes an assessment of the significant estimates 

and judgements made by the Executive Committee in 

the preparation of the financial statements, and of 

whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the 

Association's circumstances, consistently applied and 

adequately disclosed. 

We planned and performed our audit so as to 

obtain all the information and explanations which 

we considered necessary in order to provide us with 

sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that 

the financial statements are free from material 

misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other 

irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also 

evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation 

of information in the financial statements. 

OPINION 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

• give a true and fair view, in accordance with United 

Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, 

of the state of the Association's affairs as at 

31 December 2005 and of its surplus for the 

year then ended; and 

• have been properly prepared in accordance with 

the Companies Act 1985.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the 

income and expenditure account over the relevant period. The 

capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. 

Pensions 

The Association operates a defined contribution pension 

scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the 

income and expenditure account. 

International Aerosols Congress and Exhibition 2007 

In September 2007 the Association is to host an international 

congress and exhibition in Manchester on behalf of the 

European Aerosol Federation (FEA). Deposits are already being 

received from exhibitors and expenditure is being incurred. 

These items are to be carried forward until the accounting 

period in which the event takes place, when they will be 

credited/charged to income and expenditure account.

9 PENSION COMMITMENTS 

In the past the Association utilised the services of employees of 

the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) whose employment 

contracts provided for retirement benefits based on final 

pensionable pay. On 31 May 2002 this ‘defined benefits’ 

scheme ceased and was replaced by a defined contribution 

scheme. There is a Minimum Funding Requirement deficit on 

the defined benefits scheme which is due to be eliminated by 

June 2012. The Association is currently contributing £1,048 

per month to make good the proportion of this deficit that 

relates to these employees, but future contributions cannot 

be calculated accurately at this time. The amount charged to 

income and expenditure account during the year in respect of 

the defined benefits scheme was £12,576 (2004 - £16,076). 

The Association now contributes to a defined contribution
