Lighters - Child-resistance for lighters - Safety requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for lighters. These requirements are intended to make the lighters subject to the standard's provisions resistant to successful operation by children younger than 51 months.
This European Standard is applicable to lighters, as defined in 3.1, which use, as fuel, butane, isobutane, propane, or other liquefied hydrocarbon, or a mixture containing any of these, whose vapour at 24 °C exceeds a gauge pressure of 103 kPa.
This European standard does not apply to:
a)   matches or any other lighting device intended primarily for igniting materials other than smoking materials, such as fuel for fireplaces, or for charcoal, or gas-fired grills;
b)   refillable lighters for which producers provide on request to the competent authorities the necessary documentation substantiating that the lighters are designed, manufactured and placed on the market such as to ensure a continual expected safe use over a lifetime of at least five years, subject to repair, and which fulfil in particular all of the following requirements:
1)   a written guarantee from the producer of at least two years for each lighter, in accordance with Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council;
2)   the practical possibility to be repaired and safely refilled over the entire lifetime, including in particular a repairable ignition mechanism;
3)   parts that are not consumable, but are likely to wear out or fail in continual use after the guarantee period, are accessible for replacement or repair by an authorised or specialised after-sales service centre based in the European Union.
