The Poison Prevention Packaging Act: A Milestone in Child Safety

Dispelling the Myth: Why There is No Such Thing as Child-Proof Packaging. In the realm of product safety, particularly concerning items like medications, household cleaners, and chemicals, the term "child-proof packaging" is commonly used. However, despite its widespread usage, the concept of truly child-proof packaging is a misnomer. We will delve into why there's no such thing as completely child-proof packaging and what measures can be taken to enhance child safety.

Every year, thousands of children under the age of five face serious health risks due to unintentional poisonings. This article will review the statistics, explain how child-resistant packaging works, and detail how parents can help keep their children safe from accidental poisoning.

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited?

Our global customers have the assurance that they can trust the results we provide to them on every test. What is ISO 17025 Accreditation? ISO 17025 accreditation, the international standard created by the International Organization for Standardization, is pivotal for testing laboratories, ensuring a globally recognized standard of quality and reliability in their management system and technical competence. It is comprised of various requirements and guidelines use by laboratory customers, regulation boards, accreditation authorities, and organizations to verify, recognize and ensure the competency impartially, and consistent operation of laboratories in their testing and calibration processes. It is particularly crucial for those offering Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ISO, and CSA child-resistant package testing services, as it validates the precision, accuracy, and consistency of our testing methods.
