Packaging - Child-resistant packaging - Requirements and testing procedures for non-reclosable packages for non-pharmaceutical products

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for non-reclosable child-resistant packages designated as resistant to opening by children.
The standard applies to non-reclosable packages of the 'single-use' type of one or several individual units.
Non-reclosable packages for pharmaceutical products are excluded.
Acceptance criteria are given for the package when tested by specific methods. These methods do not only provide a measure of the effectiveness of the package but also cover the accessibility to the contents by adults.
This European Standard is intended for type approval only (see 4.1) and is not intended for quality assurance purposes.
NOTE   The term 'non-reclosable child-resistant package' covers not only packages where the seal is provided by a system to prevent access by young children, designed for that purpose (for example, a package comprising separate compartments and including a supporting medium, pre-formed or not, which contains the product, along with a film material which constitutes the closure) but also those packages where there is no specific method of opening (for example, completely sealed sachets, etc.).

Verpackung - Kindergesicherte Verpackung - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für nichtwiederverschließbare Verpackungen für nichtpharmazeutische Produkte

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für nichtwiederverschließbare kindergesicherte Verpackungen fest, die Schutz gegen die Öffnung durch Kinder bieten sollen.
Diese Norm gilt für nichtwiederverschließbare Verpackungen, die für den "Einmal-Gebrauch" bestimmt sind und eine oder mehrere einzelne Einheiten enthalten.
Sie gilt nicht für nichtwiederverschließbare Verpackungen für pharmazeutische Produkte.
Für Verpackungen, die einer Prüfung nach den vorgeschriebenen Verfahren unterzogen wurden, werden Annahmekriterien vorgelegt. Diese Verfahren stellen nicht nur einen Maßstab für die Wirksamkeit dar, mit der die Verpackung dem Zugriff durch Kinder widersteht, sondern erstrecken sich auch auf die Erreichbarkeit des Packungsinhalts für den Erwachsenen.
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm sollte lediglich zur Typprüfung dienen (siehe 4.1), ist also nicht zur Qualitätssicherung gedacht.
ANMERKUNG Der Begriff ¿nichtwiederverschließbare kindergesicherte Verpackung" umfasst nicht nur Verpackungen,bei denen der Verschluss, um den Kindern den Zugang zu verwehren, als System vorgesehen ist (z.B. eine Verpackung,die mehrere Fächer umfasst, mit einem Trägermaterial, das vorgeformt sein kann, zur Aufnahme des Produkts, und einer Folie, die als Abdeckung dient), sondern auch solche Verpackungen, bei denen das Verfahren des Öffnens nicht eindeutig definiert, aber in gewisser Weise Bestandteil der Verpackung selbst ist (z.B. rundum versiegelte Beutelchen usw.).

Emballages - Emballage à l'épreuve des enfants - Exigences et méthodes d'essai pour emballages non refermables pour les produits non pharmaceutiques

La présente Norme européenne a pour objet de spécifier les exigences et les méthodes d'essais des emballages de protection non refermables considérés comme résistants à l'ouverture par les enfants.
Elle s'applique aux emballages non refermables du type "à usage unique", avec une ou plusieurs unités individuelles.
Les emballages non refermables destinés aux produits pharmaceutiques sont exclus.
Des critères d'acceptabilité sont donnés pour les emballages lorsqu'ils sont testés par des méthodes spécifiques. Ces méthodes permettent non seulement de mesurer l'efficacité de l'emballage, mais couvrent aussi l'accessibilité au contenu par des adultes.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique à l'approbation par type seulement (voir 4.1) et n'a pas pour but de déterminer l'assurance de la qualité.
NOTE   Le terme "emballage de protection non refermable" recouvre à la fois les emballages dont la fermeture est assurée par un dispositif prévu à cet effet et dont la conception vise à empêcher les jeunes enfants d'accéder au produit qu'ils contiennent (par exemple, un conditionnement alvéolaire constitué d'un support, préformé ou non, recevant le produit, et d'un matériau pelliculaire constituant la fermeture) et les emballages qui n'ont pas de système d'ouverture spécifique (par exemple : sachets hermétiques, etc.).

Introduction
The use of potentially hazardous agents in certain products is necessary to achieve effectiveness. Consequently,
steps are taken to limit the occurrence of accidents. One approach has been to try to increase general awareness
of hazards associated with various products ; this approach has been used but public education aimed at protecting
the child by educating the parents and other adults about correct storage practices, etc., has never been
completely effective. Nevertheless, proper labelling and information by the manufacturer is important for the safe
use of products in the home.
Another approach has been the use of child-resistant packaging to put a physical barrier between the child and the
hazardous product. Such packaging could only be used for products as mentioned above since, if used in other
circumstances, it could lead to confusion among consumers. It has to be recognized that it is unrealistic to expect
that any functional packaging can be totally impossible for a child to open and this type of packaging cannot be a
substitute for normal safety precautions. The packaging functions acts as a last defence if other barriers separating
children and hazardous products have failed.
This standard is designed to meet the requirements of the Directive 67/548/EEC as amended for the fourteenth
time by Council Directive 91/410/EEC and complement the EN 28317 relating to child-resistant reclosable
packages. There are now around the world various types of packagings which are recognized as child-resistant
based on a test of the nature described. There is evidence that since these test methods were introduced the
incidence of ingestion by children of hazardous products has fallen. The degree to which this is due to the use of
child-resistant packaging against other factors, such as greater public awareness, is not easily assessed but there
is little doubt that child-resistant packaging has made a positive contribution.
Over the last decade much has been learned about the use of children for testing child-resistant packaging and
attention has been focused on how the number of children involved may be reduced. The development of
European Standards incorporating mechanical test methods based on current European or national standards is
appropriate to avoid unnecessary child panel testing and is essential in developing physical package attributes
usable by manufacturers.
Because of the increasing use of child-resistant packaging, it is desirable to achieve European agreement on
testing procedures in order to avoid confusion and misunderstanding in an area of great importance to the safety of
young children. A European Standard should also serve to reduce the number of children exposed to ‘training’
during panel testing. However, it should not be supposed that the provision of a standard method for assessing
child resistance is all that is needed either nationally or internationally. The test should be administered by some
responsible authority in each country adopting the European Standard, which should have confidence in the
manner in which testing is carried out and thus common procedures should be adopted by all administering
authorities covering such questions as :
 how is it decided that a child-resistant packaging is needed ?
 how is the test to be authorized and carried out ?
 how and by whom will the results be evaluated and recorded ?
 what minimum qualifications are required of supervisors who carry out the procedure ?
 how is it ensured that no child takes part in more than two tests and then only on packagings that are
significantly different ?
 how is it ensured that an identical package format is not tested more than once by different laboratories other
than for enforcement ?
Attention is drawn to the need to have adequate accreditation bodies. Evidence of conformity with this standard
may be certified only by laboratories which conform with European Standards Series EN 45000.
This European Standard has been prepared to specify requirements and testing procedures for child-resistant
packaging intended for potentially harmful products. It has been written as the best consensus which can be
achieved at present and should be reviewed in 2 years and revised if necessary in the light of experience.

NOTE 1 This European Standard refers only to accessibility to the contents of the package. Attention is drawn to the need,
when designing a child-resistant package, to give consideration to possible dangers linked to the risk of spillage which can
happen unexpectedly when opening or trying to open the package.
NOTE 2 The on-going development of non-reclosable packaging offers a significant area for innovation in packaging. The
styles of non-reclosable packages can be wide-ranging in design.
Consequently, the development of mechanical test methods by manufacturers allied to current EN or national standards should
be pursued as a means of reducing the reliance on child panel testing.
NOTE 3 A fundamental change to the test period philosophy is applied because
 there is a significant difference in the performance required from a non-reclosable packaging and ;
 there is the difficulty in keeping the children motivated during a test period of 5 minutes.
NOTE 4 Mechanical test methods may be used to generate test data for comparison and demonstration that the notified
packaging is as safe as the original reference one. Mechanical tests are test methods generating data by destructive or non
destructive tests of a specific reference package having shown child-resistant properties.
A standard is in preparation to complement this EN 862.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for non-reclosable child-resistant packages
designated as resistant to opening by children.
The standard applies to non-reclosable packages of the ‘single-use’ type of one or several individual units.
Non-reclosable packages for pharmaceutical products are excluded.
Acceptance criteria are given for the package when tested by specific methods. These methods do not only provide
a measure of the effectiveness of the package but also cover the accessibility to the contents by adults.
This European Standard is intended for type approval only (see 4.1) and is not intended for quality assurance
purposes.
NOTE The term ‘non-reclosable child-resistant package’ covers not only packages where the seal is provided by a system
to prevent access by young children, designed for that purpose (for example, a package comprising separate compartments and
including a supporting medium, pre-formed or not, which contains the product, along with a film material which constitutes the
closure) but also those packages where there is no specific method of opening (for example, completely sealed sachets, etc.).

4 General
4.1 Compliance with the European Standard
A child-resistant package tested in accordance with the requirements of this European Standard is shown to be
capable, when correctly made and used, of providing a satisfactory degree of resistance to opening by children
(see 6.3).
Accessibility to its contents by adults can be checked according to the optional adult test (see 5.5).
The test is designed for type approval.
Manufacturers and fillers of such packages will be required to initiate and operate such procedures as are
necessary to control production and use them to ensure that all packages meet the required quality standards.
NOTE 1 Contrary to reclosable packages where an adult test is needed for safety considerations as it is of major importance
to know if the package is correctly reclosed after use, such safety consideration is unnecessary for non-reclosable packages
and the adult test can be optional for commercial assessment only.
NOTE 2 Any adult test should be carried out before subjecting the package to child testing, in order to reduce exposing
children to unnecessary testing.
4.2 Packages for testing
Sufficient packages shall be produced by the proposed manufacturing process to enable a representative sample
to be selected for testing by the supervisor and to provide a reserve for reference purposes. In every test, a new
package shall be provided for each member of the test group. Dangerous products shall not be used to fill the
package to be tested. An appropriate substitute product with a salty or bitter taste shall be used.
NOTE Packages for child panel test should be unprinted.
5 Requirements
5.1 General safety requirements
A child-resistant package, in addition to satisfying the requirements for child resistance specified in 5.2, shall meet
the requirements for packaging, such as being appropriate for the contents providing mechanical protection and
functioning properly for the life of the content and its packaging.
5.2 Design requirements
5.2.1 The child-resistant packaging shall comply with the technical specification needed for the packaging of a
given product, and it shall conform with the quality requirements of the assembled package.
5.2.2 The conditions described in 5.2.1 shall be complied with throughout the foreseeable shelf life of the content
and its packaging.
5.2.3 The design and method of opening used for the child-resistant package shall not cause adults difficulty
when opening the package.
For this reason, those parts of the packaging used to carry information shall clearly state and/or illustrate the
method used for opening the package (see Annex C Advice on providing opening instructions).
5.3 Acceptance requirements
5.3.1 Child test
The following requirements shall be met when all 200 children are used to test the package in accordance with 5.4 :
 at least 85 % of the children in the test panel shall be unable to open the package within 3 min without a
demonstration ;
7

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

SIST EN 862:2002
EN 862:2001 (E)
 at least 80 % of the children in the test panel shall be unable to open the package within 6 min (3 min without a
demonstration and 3 min after a demonstration).
5.3.2 Adult test
When the packaging is tested in accordance with 5.5 at least 90 % of the adults shall be able to open the package
properly within 5 min without a demonstration.
5.4 Child test
5.4.1 Composition of child test group
Enough children to ensure 200 valid participants between the ages of 42 and 51 months inclusive, with an even
distribution of age and sex, shall be available. As far as possible they shall represent the social, ethnic and cultural
origins of the country as a whole.
They shall all be healthy with no evident physical or mental handicap associated with manual dexterity. They shall
not have taken part in more than one previous test and, in that test, a packaging of a different type and design shall
have been used. If a child is used for more than one test, it is preferable that there should be at least 4 weeks
between tests.
5.4.2 Test location
The children shall perform the test in any place with which they are familiar or relaxed, for example, in their usual
school or nursery, but they shall be removed from the general school population and separated from extraneous
distractions. Several locations may be selected from different demographic areas. The test series need not
necessarily be completed at one location at one time.
5.4.3 Test procedure
The test may be carried out on all 200 children or by a sequential procedure. If the latter is used, the number of
children tested will depend on the results obtained (see 6.1.2). When testing sequentially, the age and sex
constraints specified in 5.4.1 shall be adhered to.
Pairs of children shall be involved in the test, each pair being monitored by one supervisor. If desired, a number of
pairs (up to five) may undertake tests in the same room at the same time, provided that arrangements are such that
they cannot distract other pairs. They may adopt any attitude or position that they find convenient. Should a child
wander off during the test, action by the supervisor(s) shall be limited to leading the child back to its place and
requesting that he or she continue the test, without any additional instruction being given concerning the opening of
the package ; this fact shall be included in the report.
If a child leaves the test place during the test period (3 min or 6 min) or refuses to participate in the test despite
encouragement the result shall not be taken into account but the event recorded.
Each child shall be given a package with the request that it be opened by whatever means the child wishes to use ;
3 min shall be allocated for this purpose. No attempt shall be made to prevent a child using its teeth or any other
method of opening the package. However, no tools or implements should be accessible which might be used by
the child, except where such tools or devices are supplied with the package ; where this is so, the children shall
have access to that tool, but it shall not be drawn to their attention other than by being used in the demonstration.
Children failing to open the package in the first 3 min shall then watch a single demonstration by the test supervisor
of the package being opened, with no emphasis being placed on the actions of opening and with no verbal
instructions.
The children then have a further 3 min to open the package.
When tools are needed to open the package but these are not supplied with it, there shall be no demonstration ;
the test is therefore limited to the first part where they are given a maximum of 3 min and no demonstration.
NOTE 1 If required by the regulatory body, an official observer can be present, but the requirements laid down in annex D.1
still apply.

SIST EN 862:2002
EN 862:2001 (E)
5.4.3.1 Recording of results
After each period of 3 min, it shall be recorded whether a child fails to open the package ; if the child succeeds, it
shall be recorded whether this was before or after a demonstration. Additional information could be recorded for the
use of the manufacturers of the packaging, if requested.
5.5 Adult test (optional)
5.5.1 Composition of adult test group
Enough normal adults to ensure 100 valid participants shall be available. All shall be able to understand the
opening instructions used on the package concerned in the test. 70 % of the adults shall be female. 80 of the adults
shall be between 18 and 60 years of age inclusive and 20 shall be between 61 and 65 years of age inclusive. In
other words, one adult between 61 and 65 of age inclusive shall be tested for every 4 adults between 18 and
60 years of age inclusive.
They shall all be healthy with no evident physical or mental handicap associated with manual dexterity.
5.5.2 Test procedure
Adult tests may be carried out on all 100 adults or by a sequential procedure. If the latter is used, the number of
adults tested will depend on the results obtained (see 6.2.2). When testing sequentially, the age and sex
constraints specified in 5.5.1 shall be adhered to.
Each adult shall be given a package together with any accessories and written instructions on how to open it
properly that will be printed in or on the package when supplied to a consumer. No demonstration of how to open
the package shall be given. A period of 5 min shall be allowed for the person to read the instructions and open the
package.
6 Assessment of results
6.1 Child test
6.1.1 Success/failure
The result of the test is a failure if the child succeeds in opening the package or gaining access to the contents.
6.1.2 Sequential method
As each result is obtained, it is plotted on either table A.1 or A.2 as given in annex A or on the chart in figure B.1
or B.2 given in annex B. The chart shall be used as follows :
a) fill in a square immediately to the right of the previous result on figure B.1 if the child failed to open the
package (or gain access to the contents) in the first 3 min, and on figure B.2 if the child failed to open the
package (or gain access to the contents) in the second 3 min, i.e. the result is a success (see 6.1.1) ;
b) fill in a square immediately above the previous result in figures B.1 and B.2 if the child succeeded in opening
the package (or in accessing to the contents) in the first 3 min. Enter only on figure B.2, if the child succeeded
in opening the package (or in accessing the contents) in the second 3 min, when the result is a failure
(see 6.1.1).
The results for all children who succeeded in opening the package in the first phase shall also be recorded as a
failure of the package as in Figure B.2.
NOTE 1 In the case of the first result to be plotted, the blanked out square is regarded as the “previous result”.
NOTE 2 The package is deemed to have failed the test as soon as a trail or filled squares passes into the rejection zone, or
to have passed the test as soon as the trails pass into the acceptance zone.

EN 862:2001 (E)
6.1.3 Full test
If the full number of children is tested, the results shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements as laid
down in 5.3.1.
6.2 Adult test (optional)
6.2.1 Success/failure
The package shall be deemed to have failed if it cannot be opened within 5 min.
6.2.2 Sequential method
As each result is obtained it shall be plotted either :
- on Table A.3 of Annex A for the adult group or
- on figure B.3 of Annex B for the adult group.
The charts shall be used as follows :
a) fill in a square immediately to the right of the previous result if the test adult succeeded in opening the
package in the allotted time, i.e. the result is a success (see 6.2.1).
b) fill in a square immediately above the previous result if the test adult failed to open the package in the allotted
time, i.e. the results is a failure (see 6.2.1).
The package shall be deemed to have failed the test as soon as the trail of filled squares passes into the rejection
zone, or to have passed when it passes into the acceptance zone. If neither occurs, the results shall be assessed
in accordance with the requirements laid down in 5.3.2.
6.2.3 Full test
If the full number of adults is tested the results shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements laid down in
5.3.2.
6.3 Overall result
Packages which have been accepted for the group of children when tested shall be considered to be
non-reclosable child-resistant packaging.
7 Test report
7.1 General
The supervisor shall record at least the following information :
a) the name of the body carrying out the test ;
b) the date(s) on which the test was carried out ;
c) the name and address of the manufacturer and/or supplier of the package tested ;
d) the name(s) of the person(s) supervising the test ;
