32、 vBS EN ISO 8317:2015ISO 8317:2015(E)IntroductionA significant number of suspected cases of ingestion by children of products used about the home are reported to the medical profession each year. Most are not serious and those that are associated with more serious side effects involve products known
33、 to be hazardous, e.g. certain medicinal products, liquid fuels and solvents, strongly acid or alkaline preparations and some garden products. Most commonly used household detergents, cleaning agents, and maintenance and care products are not known to have caused injury. However, whether ingestion (
34、actual or suspected) causes injuries or not, such incidents can have traumatic effects on both the child and the parents.The use of potentially hazardous agents in certain products is necessary to achieve effectiveness; consequently steps have to be taken to limit the occurrence of accidents. One ap
35、proach has been to try to increase general awareness of hazards associated with various products. 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
36、barrier between the child and the hazardous product. Such packaging should only be used for products as mentioned above since, if used in other circumstances, it could lead to confusion among consumers. However, it should be recognized that it is unrealistic to expect that any functional packaging c
37、an 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. The packaging functions as a last defence if other barriers separating children and hazardous products have failed. Hence, the overall res
38、ponsibility rests with the parents or other responsible adults.For the assessment of minor modifications to packages previously tested according to ISO 8317, ISO 131271describes appropriate methodology that may be used.Attention is drawn to the need to have adequate supervisory and accreditation bod
39、ies, please see ISO/IEC 17025,2which provides useful guidance on these topics.In addition to child resistant reclosable packages meeting the requirements of this International Standard, attention is drawn to the need for the relevant parties in the supply chain to ensure thata) appropriate quality s
40、ystems are in place to ensure that the child resistant packaging are correctlymanufactured and remain in compliance with this International Standard,b) the life expectancy of the child resistant packaging exceeds the maximum expected numberof openings and correct closings which are likely to occur i
41、n practice, without resulting inunacceptable impairment of the child resistant property or function, andc) the package meets the requirements of packaging, such as being appropriate for, and compatiblewith, the contents, providing mechanical protection and functioning properly for the life of thepac
42、kage in the intended geographical regions and climatic conditions.NOTE Certain products can affect the physical or mechanical properties of a packaging system which can lead to a loss of the child resistant function over time. In such a case, the packaging might not remain in compliance with this In
43、ternational Standard. Compatibility between the packaging and the contents needs to be assessed using appropriate methodology.ISO/TC 122/SC 3 do not see the changes made in this edition invalidating the classification of packages certified as child resistant under the previous edition of this Intern
44、ational Standard since the adult and child panel tests remain unchanged.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 8317:2015INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8317:2015(E)Child-resistant packaging Requirements and testing procedures for reclosable packages1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies performan
