NZS 5825:1991 PDF Download

The NZS 5825:1991 standard lays out the specifications for packaging that is intended to be difficult for children under the age of five to open. For pharmaceutical items, the standard specifies both reclosable and non-reclosable types of containers, but only for other products.

This standard establishes criteria to guarantee children's safety by keeping them from accessing potentially dangerous items or substances that are inside the containers. The standard seeks to lower the possibility of accidental ingestion or exposure to hazardous contents by requiring child-resistant packaging, thereby enhancing child safety.

The specifications set forth in NZS 5825:1991 offer measures that make it difficult for children under the age of five to open the packages while also taking into account their cognitive and physical skills. This covers elements like child-proof closures, tamper-evident seals, or other safety features.

This standard's adherence guarantees that packages meet the requirements for child-resistant designation, giving parents and other adults peace of mind and enhancing children's overall safety.
