Child-resistant packaging - Requirements and testing procedures for reclosable packages 1 Scope This standard specifies the packaging requirements and test methods for reclosable packages designated as resistant to opening by children. This standard is applicable to reclosable packages designated as resistant to opening by children (hereinafter referred to as "child-resistant packaging"). 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 container vessel of glass, metal, plastic or a combination of materials designed to provide appropriate packaging for a product and having a neck finish suitable for the proper attachment of a closure 2.2 closure cap or securing device of metal, plastic or a combination of materials designed to fit an appropriate container providing a secure seal 2.3 child-resistant package package consisting of a container and appropriate closure which is difficult for young children under the age of 52 months to open, but which is not difficult for adults to use properly 2.4 reclosable package package which, after it has been initially opened, is capable of being reclosed with a similar degree of security and is capable of being used a sufficient number of times 2.5 substitute product inert substitute resembling the product it replaces, which is similar to contents 3 Requirements 3.1 Basic requirements 3.1.1 Child-resistant package shall confer resistance to opening by children of less than 52 months old. 3.1.2 Child-resistant packages shall not only meet the requirement in resistance to opening by children, but also comply the basic functional requirements on them. 3.2 Test requirements 3.2.1 Test panel Testing is carried out with two panels of people: —— a test with young children of between 42 months and 51 months old, inclusive; —— a test with adults of between 50 years and 70 years old, inclusive. Note: the test panels include young children of between 42 months and 51 months old and adults of between 50 years and 70 years old. 3.2.2 Requirements on testing packages New packages shall be submitted for testing. The following instructions for the evaluation of a series of similar packaging submitted at one time shall be applied; a rationale shall be provided for the series which discloses the degree of commonality a) If a series of closures differs only in diameter, where the largest diameter exceeds the smallest by 1.5 times, then the largest and smallest diameter closures and one intermediate closure size shall be tested; b) If the container of the packaging differs only in capacity and the closures are identical, tests shall be carried out only on the largest and smallest container sizes; c) If the container of the packaging differs only in capacity and the closures differ only in diameter but are similar in all essential characteristics, the largest and smallest diameters of closure fitted to the largest and smallest container shall be tested. If, in the container/closure combinations, the largest diameter of the closure is greater than 1.5 times of the smallest diameter, the method specified in item a) shall apply; d) If this is an integral part of the closure system., it shall be tested together with the closure system;
