Test Procedure4.1 General:4

22、.1.1 For testing in accordance with Section 4, containers with multiple closures shall have each closure tested separately.Closure(s) not being tested shall be sealed off so they will not function but will appear as they would normally.accessible at thesame time as would be the likely scenario that

23、a child would encounter the closure.4.1.1.1 However, for each closure, test using a panel of at least 50 children, and up to 200 children, using a demonstration forthat closure.4.1.1.2 If the container is stored in a different configuration than when it is being used, test with a child panel for eac

24、hconfiguration in which it is possible the package will be encountered. (For example, if the spout is stored in the container and thenthe spout is attached for use, test it once with the spout out and once with the spout in, with the demonstration appropriate for thatconfiguration.)4.1.1.3 A failure

26、set.”Torque-dependent closures shall be secured at the same torqueas applied normally by adult consumers. The torque value shall be recorded. Document the method to arrive at the torque value.4.1.3 All containers shall be handled so that no damage or jarring will occur during storage or transportati

To assure

31、geographical diversity if testing is completed at a central location, no more than 20 % of the children shall be drawnfrom a single ZIP code, city, or town.4.2.3 Each group of children shall be randomly selected as to age, subject to the limitations set forth below.4.2.4 Thirty percent of the childr

32、en in each group shall be of age 42 to 44 months, 40 % of the children in each group shall beof age 45 to 48 months, and 30 % of the children in each group shall be of age 49 to 51 months.4.2.5 The childrens ages in months shall be calculated as follows:4.2.5.1 Arrange the birth date and test date b

33、y the numerical designations for month, day, and year (for example, test date:8/3/1990; birth date: 6/23/1986).4.2.5.2 Subtract the month, day, and year numbers for the birth date from the respective numbers for the test date. It is possiblethat this will result in negative numbers for the months or

34、 days.4.2.5.3 Multiply the difference in years by 12 to obtain the number of months in the difference in years and add this value tothe number of months that was obtained when the birth date was subtracted from the test date (that is, 4 12 = 48; 48 + 2 = 50).This figure either will remain the same o

35、r be adjusted up or down by one month, depending on the number of days obtained inthe subtraction of the birth date from the test date.4.2.5.4 If the number of days obtained by subtracting the days in the birth date from the days in the test date is +16 or more,one month is added to the number of mo

36、nths obtained above. If the number of days is 16 or less, subtract l month. If the numberof days is between 15 and +15 inclusive, no change is made in the number of months. Thus, for the example given above, thenumber of days is 20 and the number of months is therefore 50 1 = 49 months.4.2.5.5 The d

37、ifference between the number of boys and the number of girls in each age range shall not exceed 10 % of thenumber of children in that range. Select children without an obvious or overt physical or mental handicap.4.3 Child-Resistant Tests (Test Failures)A test failure shall be any child who opens th

38、e closure or gains access to thecontainers contents.4.4 Sequential TestThe sequential test is initially conducted using 50 children, and depending on the results, the criteria inTable 1 determines whether the container is either child resistant or not child resistant or whether further testing is re

39、quired. Furthertesting is required if the results are inconclusive and involves the use of one or more additional groups of 50 children each, up toa maximum of 200 children. No individual shall administer the test to more than 30 % of the children tested in each group. Table1 gives the acceptance (p

40、ass), continue testing, and rejection (fail) criteria to be used for the first 5 min and the full 10 min of thechildrens test. If the test continues past the initial 50-child panel, the container openings shown in Table 1 are cumulative.4.5 Test ProceduresThe children shall be divided into groups of

41、 two. The testing shall be done in a location that is familiarto the children, for example, their customary nursery school or regular kindergarten. school. No child shall test more than twoclosures. When more than one closure is being tested, each closure shall be dissimilar, and they shall be prese

42、nted to the pairedchildren in random order. This order shall be recorded. The children shall be tested by the procedure incorporated in the followingtest instructions:4.5.1 Alternatively, testing at a central location after the children are made comfortable in that location shall be allowed.4.6 Deta

43、iled Standardized Child Test Instructions:4.6.1 The children shall have no overt physical or mental handicaps. No child with a permanent or temporary illness, injury,or handicap that would interfere with his/her effective participation shall be included in the test.4.6.2 The testing shall take place

44、 in a well-lit location that is or becomes familiar to the children and is isolated from alldistractions.4.6.3 The tester, or another adult, shall escort a pair of children to the test area. The tester shall seat the two children so thatthere is no visual barrier between the children and the tester.

45、4.6.4 The tester shall talk to the children to make them feel at ease.4.6.5 The children shall not be given the impression that they are in a race or contest. They are not to be told that the test isa game or that it is fun. They are not to be offered a reward.4.6.6 The tester shall record all data

46、before, or after, the test so that full attention can be on the children during the test period.4.6.7 The tester shall use a stopwatch(s) or other timing devices to time the number of seconds it takes the child to open thecontainer and to time the 5-min test periods.4.6.8 To begin the test, the test

47、er shall hand the children identical containers, indicate by gesture which opening is being testedand say, “Please try to open this for me.me or to get the liquid out.”4.6.9 If a child refuses to participate after the test has started, the tester shall reassure the child and gently encourage the chi

48、ldto try. If the child continues to refuse, the tester shall ask the child to hold the container in his/her lap until the other child isfinished.This pair of children shall not be eliminated from the results unless the refusing child disrupts the participation of the otherchild.F2517 1734.6.10 Each

49、child shall be given up to 5 min to open his/her container. The tester shall watch the children at all times duringthe test. The tester shall minimize conversation with the children as long as they continue to attempt to open their containers. Thetester shall not discourage the children verbally or with facial expressions. If a child gets frustrated or bored and stops trying toopen his/her container, the tester shall reassure the child and gently encourage the child to keep trying (for example, “Please tryto open the containerkeep trying t
