Two technical standards relate to the safety of lighters:
the European and International Standard EN ISO
9994:2002 ‘Lighters — Safety Specification’, which establishes
specifications on quality, reliability and safety of
the lighters combined with appropriate manufacturing
test procedures, but which does not include childresistance
specifications, and the European standard EN
13869:2002 ‘Lighters — Child-resistance for lighters —
Safety requirements and test methods’, which establishes
child-resistance specifications.
