CR Packaging Test-Standard Comparison and Interpretation

The purpose of designing CR packaging/Child Resistant Packaging is to reduce the risk of children consuming harmful substances, as the design of such packaging makes it difficult for children to open. We commonly refer to CR testing as the test for preventing children from opening CR packaging products.

Child protective packaging originated in the United States in 1970. The Toxic Substances Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) stipulates that products harmful to children must use child safe packaging. A large number of accidents involving household, gardening, and automotive chemicals, as well as accidents involving drugs and other harmful substances, have triggered the legislative process. Subsequently, the frequency and severity of incidents involving child proof packaging have significantly decreased.
