ISO 8317 Testing

How ISO 8317 Testing Works for Child-Resistant Snus Cans

ISO 8317 testing verifies that a reclosable container is difficult for children under 5 to open, yet accessible to adults. For snus and nicotine pouch brands, passing ISO 8317 is the difference between customs clearance and a rejected shipment.

What is BS EN ISO 8317?

BS EN ISO 8317 is the British and European adoption of the international ISO 8317 standard. It applies the same child-resistance test protocol but is formally referenced by UK and EU regulations, including the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). MANKE provides BS EN ISO 8317 test reports for brands launching in the UK, EU, and EEA markets.

1

Sample Submission

We submit production-representative CR cans and closures to an ISO 17025 accredited lab. Samples include the exact material, decoration, and closure configuration you will receive in bulk production.

2

Child-Panel Test

Children aged 42–51 months attempt to open the package within a 5-minute window. To pass, at least 85% of children must fail to open the package, and at least 80% must fail after a demonstration.

3

Adult-Panel Test

Adults aged 50–70 must be able to open and properly reclose the package within a 5-minute period. At least 90% of adults must pass this test for the package to be considered senior-friendly.

4

Report & Batch Documentation

Every order ships with the original lab report: test date, lab accreditation scope, batch traceability, and conformance statement. We also provide notarized translations for EU, UK, and GCC customs on request.

What is ISO 8317?
ISO 8317 is the international standard for reclosable child-resistant packaging. It requires that children under 5 years old cannot open the package, while adults aged 50–70 can open and properly reclose it. For snus and nicotine pouch brands, ISO 8317 certification is required for retail sale in the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and UAE/GCC markets.

What is the difference between ISO 8317 and BS EN ISO 8317?
BS EN ISO 8317 is the British and European adoption of the international ISO 8317 standard. It applies the same child-resistance test protocol but is formally referenced by UK and EU regulations, including the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). MANKE provides both ISO 8317 and BS EN ISO 8317 test reports for brands launching in the UK, EU, and EEA markets.

What is considered child-resistant packaging?
Child-resistant packaging is a container with a closure or opening mechanism that is difficult for children under 5 to open, yet accessible to adults. For snus and nicotine pouches, this typically means a push-and-turn cap, dual-motion lid, or similar mechanism tested to ISO 8317 and 16 CFR 1700.20 standards.

What is the difference between child proof and child resistant?
No packaging is truly "child proof." "Child resistant" is the correct regulatory term: it means the package is significantly difficult for children under 5 to open within a reasonable time, while remaining accessible to adults. This is why standards like ISO 8317 use child-panel and adult-panel testing rather than claiming absolute proof.

Do MANKE cans meet US CPSC requirements?
Yes. MANKE's child-resistant snus cans are tested to 16 CFR 1700.20 by CPSC-accepted third-party laboratories. Test reports are included with every CR order at no additional cost, supporting US retail onboarding and customs clearance.

What compliance documentation ships with every order?
Every order includes material compliance certificates (FDA / EU 10/2011 / REACH), batch QC reports, and child-resistant test reports for CR-certified orders. Additional certifications such as GSO ISO 8317:2015 for GCC or CAN/CSA Z76.1 for Canada can be arranged on request.
