Compliance information

Locked4Kids is certified according to F=1 US 16 CFR 1700.20 and ISO 8317 standards, which ensure child-resistance while maintaining senior-friendliness (CRSF). These certifications mean that the packaging adheres to stringent requirements that prioritize both child safety and senior accessibility.

Intense testing process

To meet certification standards, Locked4Kids packaging underwent rigorous testing at Belgium’s BVI, an ISO 17025-certified institute. Testing involved children from nursery schools and playgrounds who were allowed to use any means to open the packaging. They had two rounds of five minutes each to try and open it, with a demonstration given after the first round. The packaging passed stringent requirements, with less than 1% of children able to open it before demonstration and under 4% afterward.

Test results with children (USA and Europe)

· Requirement: No more than 45 out of 300 (15%) children should open the packaging within the first 5 minutes.
· Results Locked4kids: Only 2 out of 300 children managed to open Locked4Kids' cartons (less than 1%).
‍
· Requirement: No more than 60 out of 300 (20%) children should open the packaging within 10 minutes.
· Results Locked4kids: Only 11 children managed to open the packaging (less than 4%).

Test results with seniors

Testing with seniors showed that 100% of participants could easily open the packaging without additional instructions, far surpassing the minimum level of 90% accessibility required by regulations.
