Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Introduction
Child-resistant packaging is used to create a physical barrier between a child and a potentially
hazardous product. Various types of packaging are recognized as being child-resistant, based on
performance testing against standards for specific product categories and packaging types.
Since child-resistant packaging was introduced, the incidence of accidental ingestion of potentially
hazardous products by children under 5 years old has fallen. The degree to which this is due to the
use of child-resistant packaging as opposed to other factors, such as greater public awareness of the
hazards, is not easily assessed, but there is little doubt that child-resistant packaging has made a
positive contribution to the reduction.
The use of child-resistant packaging needs to be confined to those products that are potentially
hazardous, or for which any legislation makes its use mandatory, since, if used in other circumstances,
there could be confusion over the degree of hazard posed by the product.
In any case, proper labelling and information by the manufacturer is important for the safe use of the
product in the home.
Child-resistant packaging acts as the last line of defence if other barriers separating the child and
hazardous product have failed. However, it should be recognized that it is unrealistic to expect that any
functional packaging can be totally impossible for a child of 42 to 51 months inclusive to open and that
child-resistant packaging cannot be a substitute for other safety precautions.
There has been an increasing use of child-resistant packaging, therefore it is desirable to achieve
agreement on testing procedures in order to avoid confusion and misunderstanding in an area of great
importance to the safety of young children.
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.
This document aims to minimize the number of children “exposed to training” during panel testing.
Since the introduction of performance testing 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 can be reduced. Future development of standards based on mechanical test methods is needed
to avoid unnecessary child panel testing and is essential in developing physical package attributes
useable by manufacturers.
Child-resistant packaging is only the last in a series of protective measures, and does not release
parents or guardians from their duty to keep medicinal products out of the reach of children.

4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements
A non-reclosable child-resistant package, when tested in accordance with the requirements of this
document, shall be capable of providing a satisfactory degree of resistance to opening by children
(see 4.2.1) and a satisfactory level of accessibility to its contents by adults (see 4.2.2).
A non-reclosable child-resistant package, in addition to conforming to the performance requirements
specified in this document (see 4.2), shall be appropriate for the contents, provide mechanical
protection and function properly for the life of the content and packaging.
Manufacturers, component manufacturers, fillers and packers of such packages shall initiate and
operate procedures to control the quality of packaging materials so that type approved packaging is in
accordance with the requirements of this document.
NOTE ISO 9001 specifies requirements for quality management systems where organizations need to
demonstrate their capability of supplying conforming products to customers.
4.2 Performance requirements
4.2.1 Child test
An individual child test shall be considered a failure in relation to unit, strip or blister packages if within
10 min the child accesses more than 8 unit doses from the packaging provided.
When tested in accordance with 5.3.2 and evaluated in accordance with 5.4.1.3, the packaging shall be
deemed to be child-resistant.
