By Dwight Davis, Founder

Updated

On this page6
Child-resistant packaging is required by constituent and percentage, not by what the product is called, and the rule exempts products whose only non-child-resistant access is a spray device. So the closure decides whether the requirement applies to you. It also has to keep working while in contact with an oil that dissolves plastics.

Getting started

What triggers child resistanceThe spray-device exemptionIt has to survive the contentsWhat the standard asks for
