3.1.2 Reclosable packages
Reclosable packagesChild-resistant fastenings used on reclosable packages shall comply with EN ISO standard 8317 as amended relating to ‘Child-resistant packages — Requirements and methods of testing for reclosable packages’ adopted by the European Committee for standardisation (CEN) and the International Standard Organisation (ISO).
3.1.3 Non-reclosable packages
Non-reclosable packagesChild-resistant fastenings used on non-reclosable packages shall comply with CEN standard EN 862 as amended relating to ‘Packaging — Child-resistant packaging — Requirements and testing procedures for non-reclosable packages for non-pharmaceutical products’ adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).
3.1.4 Notes
Notes3.1.4.1. Evidence of conformity with the above standards may be certified only by laboratories which conform with Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 as amended.
3.1.4.1. Evidence of conformity with the above standards may be certified only by laboratories which conform with Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 as amended.
3.1.4.2. Specific cases Specific cases
If it seems obvious that packaging is sufficiently safe for children because they cannot get access to the contents without the help of a tool, the test referred to in section 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 does not need to be performed.
In all other cases and when there are sufficient grounds for doubting the security of the closure for a child, the national authority may ask the person responsible for putting the product on the market to give it a certificate from a certifying laboratory, referred to in section 3.1.4.1, stating that either:
