BS EN ISO 8317:2015 PDF Download

The rules and procedures for assessing the child resistance of reclosable packaging are the main topics of the BS EN ISO 8317:2015 standard. It applies to a variety of home items that need child-resistant packaging, such as medicines, cleaning supplies, and gardening equipment.

This standard is intended for a broad variety of stakeholders with an interest in child-resistant packaging and child accident prevention, including designers, manufacturers, test houses, regulators, childcare facilities, schools, and consumers.

To ensure that reclosable packages are difficult for kids to open, this standard lays out performance requirements and test procedures. The guideline also considers how easily adults can access the contents. It should be emphasized that this standard merely grants type certification and is not meant to serve as a means of quality assurance.

Editorial and technical changes are both included in the 2015 iteration of the standard. A few sentences have been combined, new definitions have been added, the evaluation processes for several types of packaging that are comparable have been clarified, and more testing criteria have been added.
