Xinfuda get ISO 13127:2012

Xinfuda get ISO 13127:2012  for child resistant packaging testing. It is main for our PP28 child resistant cap test, PP28 cap can match both plastic bottle and glass bottle wiht the 28mm neck.

What is ISO 13127:2012?

ISO 13127:2012 is an international standard that specifies testing procedures for child-resistant packaging (CRP). It primarily focuses on reclosable packaging systems designed to prevent children from accessing hazardous substances, such as medications, cleaning agents, and chemicals, while still allowing adults to open them without much difficulty. Below are key details:

Scope

ISO 13127:2012 provides guidelines for evaluating the mechanical performance of CRP systems. This standard ensures that packaging maintains both functionality and safety over time, preventing unintended access by children.

Key Components and Focus Areas

Applicability:

This standard is relevant for reclosable child-resistant packaging such as bottles, blister packs, pouches, and containers that use mechanical mechanisms (e.g., push-and-turn caps).

It applies across industries where hazardous substances are handled, such as pharmaceuticals, chemical industries, and household products.

Mechanical Tests:

ISO 13127 defines test methods to assess the durability of the mechanical parts of child-resistant packaging.

Evaluates the opening and closing cycles to ensure CRP can maintain effectiveness over time.

Includes tests for wear and tear resistance, and ensures that packaging materials or mechanisms won’t degrade after repeated use.

Age-Specific Accessibility:

Packaging systems tested under this standard are designed so that children under five years are unable to open them easily, but adults (including the elderly) can access the contents without excessive force.

Testing Procedures

Opening Cycle Test: Simulates multiple openings and closures to assess whether the closure mechanism degrades over time.

Force Requirements: Verifies that the amount of force needed to open or close the packaging is within acceptable limits (challenging for children but feasible for adults).

Temperature & Humidity Impact Tests: Evaluates performance under varying environmental conditions to ensure long-term reliability.

Benefits of ISO 13127:2012

Consumer Safety: Helps reduce risks of poisoning or injury from accidental access by children.

Compliance: Assists manufacturers in meeting regulatory standards for child-resistant packaging, ensuring market access and adherence to safety laws.

Consistency: Provides a standardized methodology, promoting uniformity in testing practices across industries.

Relation to Other Standards

ISO 13127:2012 complements other standards related to child-resistant packaging such as:

ISO 8317:2015 – Child-resistant packaging – Requirements and testing procedures for reclosable packaging.

EN 14375 – Child-resistant non-reclosable packaging for pharmaceutical products.

If you're working on product compliance or testing, ISO 13127:2012 ensures you meet safety benchmarks by evaluating the packaging's mechanical performance under real-world conditions.
