Child Resistant Packaging Testing

As everyone knows on the packages of medicines, various detergents and chemicals, "Keep Out of the Reach of Children." The phrase is included. Well, are there any packaging studies that need to be done apart from the warnings on the packaging?

Packaging materials produced as child-resistant should be subjected to panel tests as well as laboratory tests. In order to test whether the packages are child resistant, a panel test of 42 – 51 months old children should normally be carried out. Under Child Resistant Packaging Requirements and Test Procedures, sample packages must not be opened by at least 80% of children for 10 minutes. tested by adults without the condition. Testing in adults is carried out in two steps.

  • First, they are asked to open the childproof package.
  • Then they are asked to open it again by giving an identical package.
In the above-mentioned stages, the first package should be opened by 90% of the participants in 5 minutes. The second packages are expected to be opened within 1 minute. In addition, opened packages should be closed in a way that children cannot reopen.
