These requirements are intended to make the lighters subject to the standards provisions resistant to successful operation by children younger than 51 months. This European Standard is app
20、licable to lighters, as defined in 3.1. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated refer
21、ences, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN IS0 9994, Lighters - Safety spe
22、cification (IS0 9994: 1995). 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 lighter flame-producing product commonly used by consumers to ignite cigarettes, cigars and pipes, although they can be used to ignite other materials. This
23、 term does not include 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 This product, which is refillable or not, has a customs valuation or ex-factory price under EUR 2,00,
24、as adjusted every 5 years with the percentage changes of the European wholesale price index, and its fuel is 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. 3.2 novelty lighter flame-producin
25、g product commonly used by consumers to ignite cigarettes, cigars and pipes, including any holder which can be incorporated later or any attachment which can be fixed later, that resembles by any means to another object commonly recognised as appealing to or intended for use by children younger than
26、 51 months, or has entertaining audio effects or animated effects. A novelty lighter can operate on any fuel, including butane or liquid fuel. This includes, but is not limited to, lighters or holders that are clearly intended to hold lighters, the shape of which resembles cartoon characters, toys,
27、guns, watches, telephones, musical instruments, vehicles, human body or parts of the human body, animals, food or beverages, or that play musical notes, or have flashing lights or moving objects or other entertaining features. This excludes lighters that are printed or decorated with logos, labels,
28、decals, artwork or heat shrinkable sleeves 3.3 successful ope rat ion one signal of any duration from a surrogate lighter within either of the two 5 min test periods specified in 5.7.1 3.4 producer person or organization responsible for the first placing of the lighter on the market 4 Copyright Euro

30、factors that affect child resistance (including operation and the force(s) required for operation), within reasonable manufacturing tolerances, to a lighter intended for use by consumers; - has no fuel; - does not produce a flame; and - produces an audible or visual signal that will be clearly disce
31、rnible when the surrogate lighter is activated in a manner that would normally produce a flame in a production lighter NOTE This definition does not require a lighter to be modified with electronics or the like to produce a signal. Producers can use as a surrogate lighter a production lighter but wi
32、thout fuel, if a distinct signal such as a “click can be heard clearly when the mechanism is operated in each manner that would produce a flame in a production lighter. 3.6 model one or more lighters from the same producer that do not differ in design or other characteristics in any manner that can
33、affect child-resistance. Lighter characteristics that can affect child-resistance include, but are not limited to, size, shape, case material and ignition mechanism (including child-resistant features) 3.7 CEN geographical area geographical area, constituted of the territories of the States the nati
34、onal standards organizations which are “national member“ of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), according to clause 6 of CEN statutes 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Lighters shall comply with EN IS0 9994. 4.2 No lighter shall be a novelty lighter. 4.3 accordance with clause 5. Lighters shal
35、l be resistant to successful operation by at least 85 % of the child-test panel when tested in 4.4 The mechanism or system of a lighter that makes the product resist successful operation by children shall: a) reset itself automatically after each operation of the ignition mechanism of the lighter; b
36、) not impair safe operation of the lighter when used in a normal and convenient manner; c) be effective for the reasonably expected life of the lighter; and d) not be easily overridden or deactivated. 5 Test method 5.1 Method of test The test method shall either be the one described in subclause 5.2
37、 to 5.9 hereafter, or the one defined in US consumer product safety standard for cigarette lighters, given in 16 CFR, Chapter II, Part 1210 “Safety standard for cigarette lighters“ of 12 July 1993. 5 Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENNot for Resal

39、 use. Written informed consent shall be obtained from a parent or legal guardian of a child before the child participates in the test. The children shall come from families for whom the first language is the principal language of the district in which the tests are conducted. 5.2.2 with 5.7. The tes
40、t shall be conducted using at least one, but no more than two, 100 child test panels in accordance 5.2.3 The children for the test panel shall live within the CEN geographical area 5.2.4 The age and sex distribution of each 100-child panel shall be: a) (30 12) children (20 I 1) boys and (IO I 1) gir
41、ls 42 months to 44 months old; b) (40 12) children (26 I 1) boys and (14 I 1) girls 45 months to 48 months old; c) (30 12) children (20 I 1) boys and (IO I 1) girls 49 months to 51 months old. NOTE To calculate a childs age in months: - subtract the childs birth date from the test date ; e.g.: day m
42、onth year test date 3 8 94 - birth date -23 - -6 = difference -20 2 4 - - - multiply the difference in years by 12 months; e.g.: 4 years x 12 months = 48 months; add the difference in months; e.g.: 48 months + 2 months = 50 months; if the difference in days is: - - - greaterthan 15 (e.g.: 16, 17), a
43、dd 1 month; less than -15 (e.g.: -16, -17), subtract 1 month; e.g.: 50 months - 1 month = 49 months; between -15 and 15 (e.g.: -15, -14, . 14, 15), do not add or subtract 1 month. 5.2.5 ability to operate the surrogate lighter shall be selected for participation. No child with a permanent or tempora
44、ry illness, injury, or handicap that would interfere with the childs 5.2.6 Two children at a time shall participate in testing of surrogate lighters. Extra children whose results will not be counted in the test may be used if necessary to provide the required partner for test subjects, if the extra
45、children are within the required age range and a parent or guardian of each such child has signed a consent form. 5.2.7 participate in both child-resistant package testing and surrogate lighter testing on the same day. No child shall participate in more than one test panel, or test more than one sur
46、rogate lighter. No child shall 5.3 Test sites, environment and testers 5.3.1 Test sites Surrogate lighters shall be tested within the CEN geographical area either: a) at 5 or more test sites for each 100-child panel if the sites are the customary nursery schools or day care centres of the participat
47、ing children. No more than 20 children shall participate in the tests at each site; or 6 Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-EN 13869:2002 (E) b) at one or more centr
48、al locations, provided the participating children are drawn from a variety of locations within the geographical area. 5.3.2 Test environment Testing of surrogate lighters shall be conducted either: a) in a room that is familiar to the children on the test panel (for example, a room the children freq
49、uent at their customary nursery school or day care centre); or b) in a room at a central location that may be unfamiliar. In this case, the tester shall allow at least 5 min for the children to become accustomed to the new environment before starting the test. The area in which the testing is conducted shall be well lit and free from distractions. The children shall be allowed freedom of movement to work with their
