1、Designation: D 3481 06Standard Test Method forManual Shelling Two-Piece Child-Resistant Closures ThatAre Activated by Two Simultaneous Dissimilar Motions1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3481; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoptio

2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the forcerequired to separate (

3、or “shell”) the snap-fitted outer cap fromthe inner cap of Type IA, IB, or IC child-resistant closures.1.2 This test method does not measure the force required toseparate parts of a child-resistant closure system that wereoriginally “screwed-on” instead of “snapped-on” (for example,pull a cap over o

4、r through continuous or multi-start threadswhen the cap was originally screwed on).1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, a

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method measures the force required to pry theouter cap off the inner cap using a fixture having a contact pointunder the tip of the skirt of the outer cap and leverage beingplace

10、d on that point and the top of the cap. This procedure isused where a pivotal prying force can be successfully used toseparate the components of the closure system. Either a torquewrench or a torque meter can be used as a measuring device.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method of applying force

11、 may be used as astandard test to compare the characteristics of a given design ofcontainer/child-resistant closure system with a standard or tocompare the characteristics of container/child-resistant closuresystems differing in construction.5.2 It may be used to simulate certain manipulations thatm

12、ay be expected to occur in protocol testing4(such as, pryingwith the teeth or objects in the room, biting, and pulling withthe teeth).5.3 This test method may be used to establish performancespecifications.6.

Other a

24、tmosphereconditions may be used as appropriate.11. Procedure11.1 Apply all closures to be tested to the appropriatecontainers at a specified and uniform torque.NOTE 1Specifying the application torque level is necessary for testconsistency as the physical relationship/interlocking between the inneran

25、d outer closure can change at different application torque levels.11.2 Attach the cap holding fixture to the torque meter ortorque tester and slide fixture over the widest part of the cap(the diameter).11.3 Apply torque in the following manner:11.3.1 When a table model torque meter is used, the test

26、container should be parallel to the table (that is, it should be ina horizontal position and not canted). Grasp the test containerat the base with the thumb and forefingers (not with the entirehand) to avoid the application of “english” or twisting forceswhile applying torque.11.3.2 When a torque wr

27、ench is used, grasp the test con-tainer firmly in the hand or in a holding fixture in a verticalposition (perpendicular to the floor). Apply direct upwardpressure with the torque wrench. Do not cant or cock thewrench when pressure is applied.11.4 Apply torque at a slow, steady rate that allows the t

28、otaltesting time to range between 15 and 30 s for each closure.11.5 The end point of the test should be the lifting of theouter cap to a position where the plane of the top surface of theouter cap forms a 45 angle with the bottom plane of the bottle.11.6 Record test results and procedures used to ob

One package had a within-laboratory stan-dard deviation of 1.6 lb or 11.1 % of the average. The secondpackage was 1.4 lb or 7.8 %

33、 of the average. The third packagewas 5.1 lb or 24.3 % of the average. A log-normal distributionmight also be considered for evaluation of data from this testmethod. Other packages may have different repeatability val-ues. The reproducibility of this test method is being deter-mined.13.2 BiasNo just

34、ifiable statement can be made on the biasof this test method since a true value cannot be established byan accepted referee method.14.
