20、 EN 13869:2016EN 13869:2016 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard is based on US consumer product safety standard for cigarette lighters, given in 16 CFR, Chapter II, Part 1210 “Safety standard for cigarette lighters” of 12 July 1993. Certain mechanical test methods have been introduced as an al

21、ternative to the Child Test Panel for some types of ignition mechanism. It is recognized that assessing lighters with child test panels can be expensive, can go against ethical principles, can take a considerable time and can lead to problems with enforcement. Under a mandate from the European Commi

22、ssion to CEN, it was therefore necessary to devise at least equally effective and reliable but less onerous alternatives for verifying the child-resistance of lighters. It should be noted that the alternative mechanical tests are not mandatory and that the child test panel assessment may still be ca

23、rried out. The mechanical test methods have been based upon the findings and recommendations from a study on child resistance requirements for cigarette lighters that was commissioned in 2011 and undertaken between November 2011 and April 2013. This report has been accepted by the European Commissio

24、n. It has not been possible to define technical parameters for all child-resistant mechanisms in use and only some types of ignition mechanisms are within the scope of the mechanical tests. It is possible that other types of ignition mechanisms (for example sliders and flint mechanisms) might be add

25、ressed at a later date. An alternative to the full child panel test method, based on the sequential method, has also been introduced. Life time has been included in the mechanical test method. No concerns have been raised about the validity of the child panel test but it is anticipated that the chil

26、d panel test could be reviewed in the future to harmonize the test methods of the life time of the child resistance of the lighter. BS EN 13869:2016EN 13869:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies child safety requirements for lighters. This European Standard does not apply to matches or

27、 any other lighting device intended primarily for igniting materials other than smoking materials, such as fuel for fireplaces, or for charcoal, or gas-fired grills. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable

28、 for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 9994, Lighters Safety specification (ISO 9994) EN ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of tes

29、ting and calibration laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 lighter manually operated flame-producing device employing a fuel, including butane or liquid fuel, normally used for deliberately igniting in p

30、articular cigarettes, cigars and pipes, and which may foreseeably be used to ignite materials such as paper and wicks of candles and lanterns, manufactured with an integral supply of fuel, whether intended to be refuelled or not Note 1 to entry: A price threshold for lighters, whether they are refil

31、lable or not, is applied in countries outside the European Union where child-resistance requirements are in force (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) of a customs valuation or ex-factory price under US $ 2,25; this corresponds with the threshold of EURO 2,00 initially defined in the standard EN 138

32、69:2002. 3.2 refillable repairable lighter refillable lighters for which producers provide on request to the competent authorities the necessary documentation substantiating that the lighters are designed, manufactured and placed on the market such as to ensure a continual expected safe use over a l

33、ifetime of at least five years, subject to repair, and which fulfil in particular all of the following: a written guarantee of at least two years for each lighter, in accordance with Directive 1999/44/EC Article 6 of the European Parliament and of the Council; this guarantee is in addition to the co

34、nsumers rights granted under Article 3 thereof; the practical possibility for the lighter to be repaired and safely refilled over the entire lifetime, including in particular a repairable ignition mechanism; parts that are not consumable, but are likely to wear out or fail in continual use after the

35、 guarantee period, are accessible for replacement or repair under the producers responsibility by an authorized or specialized after-sales service centre based in the European Union BS EN 13869:2016EN 13869:2016 (E) 7 Note 1 to entry: The above mentioned criteria relate to the so-called luxury and s

36、emi-luxury lighters which are also characterized by a low degree of substitutability with other lighters and an individual consumer packaging. 3.3 child-appealing lighter lighter, including any holder which can be incorporated later or any attachment which can be fixed later, that resembles by any m

37、eans to another object commonly recognized as appealing to or intended for use by children younger than 51 months, or has entertaining audio effects or animated effects Note 1 to entry: This includes, but is not limited to, lighters or holders that are clearly intended to hold lighters, the shape of

38、 which resembles cartoon characters, toys, guns, watches, telephones, musical instruments, vehicles, human body or parts of the human body, animals, food or beverages, or that play musical notes, or have flashing lights or moving objects or other entertaining features. This excludes lighters that ar

39、e printed or decorated with logos, labels, decals, artwork or heat shrinkable sleeves. 3.4 successful operation one signal of any duration from a surrogate lighter within either of the two 5 min test periods specified in 5.8 3.5 producer either: the manufacturer of the product when established in th

40、e European Union, any other organization presenting itself as the manufacturer by affixing to the product its name, trade mark or other distinctive mark, or the organization that reconditions the product; or the manufacturers representative when the manufacturer is not established in the European Un

41、ion or, if there is no representative established in the European Union, the importer of the product into the European Union; or other professionals in the supply chain insofar as their activities may affect the safety properties of a product 3.6 surrogate lighter device that: approximates to the ap

42、pearance, size, shape and weight of, and is identical in all other factors that affect child resistance including operation (e.g. force(s) and displacement(s), within reasonable manufacturing tolerances, to a lighter intended for use by consumers; has no fuel; does not produce a flame; and produces

43、an audible or visual signal that is clearly discernible when the device is activated in a manner that would normally produce a flame in a production lighter Note 1 to entry: This definition does not require a lighter to be modified with electronics or the like to produce a signal. Producers can use

44、as a surrogate lighter a production lighter but without fuel, if a distinct signal such as a “click” can be heard clearly when the mechanism is operated in each manner that would produce a flame in a production lighter. BS EN 13869:2016EN 13869:2016 (E) 8 3.7 model one or more lighters from the same

45、 producer that do not differ in design or other characteristics in any manner that can affect child-resistance Note 1 to entry: Lighter characteristics that can affect child-resistance include, but are not limited to, size, shape, case material and ignition mechanism (including child-resistant featu

46、res). 3.8 CEN geographical area geographical area, constituted of the territories of the States the national standards organizations which are “national member” of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), according to Clause 6 of CEN statutes 3.9 operating button part of the lighter pressed
