1、Designation: D 3475 09Standard Classification ofChild-Resistant Packages1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3475; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses
2、 indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers various types of child-resistantpackages.1.2 The examples for each type of child-resistant packagingare not intended to be all-in
3、clusive, but are included only as anaid in the understanding and comprehension of each type ofclassification.1.3 Listings are not to be considered endorsements orapproval of the package by ASTM.2.

9、opened or used one time separatelyfrom the other individual product units in the package, or theentire contents of a single unit package intended for use in oneapplication.2.1.3.1 DiscussionThese packages are generally non-reclosable or non-reusable. A unit of sale package may consistof one or more
10、non-reusable individual packages. Generallyused for household, automotive, chemical, pesticide, veteri-nary, garden and other products not intended for humaningestion. Package styles may include some aerosol, that is,foggers, soluble film, canisters, pouches, and so forth, filledwith liquids, drys,
11、powders, and other product forms. Packagesmay or may not be child-resistant in accordance with theregulatory requirements of the package contents.3. Significance and Use3.1 This classification scheme defines the type of motions,skills, or tools required for a particular type of child-resistantpackag
12、e and provides examples of current packaging withinthat type.3.2 Reference to a particular package in this classification isnot intended in any manner to denote endorsement or approvalof the package by ASTM.3.3 Packages have been included as examples based onmanufacturers claims of child-resistance.
13、 Child-resistantpackage functionality for any specific product type must bedetermined by the packager/manufacturer following the guide-lines of the PPPA of 1970 and the most current version of theCFR Title 16 Part 1700 and Title 40 Part 157.2The listing ofa package in this classification is not an i
14、ndication of whetheror not it has been successfully tested in accordance with theaforementioned guidelines.3.4 Additions or deletions to the examples should be re-ported to Committee D10 on Packaging, for incorporation intothis classification during the next revision.4. Basis of Classification4.1 Th
15、e basis for classification for child-resistant closure,and the classifications themselves, appear in Table 1.5.
