This part of BS 7272 specifies requirements for reducing the risk of suffocation from covers for writing and marking instruments. It concerns vehicles that are likely to be used by children up to 14 years of age under normal or foreseeable conditions.
The primary purpose of this standard is to minimize the risk of suffocation if these ingredients are accidentally inhaled or swallowed. This standard is particularly important for products intended for children's use, but is widely applied to ensure safety across various consumer groups.
To reduce the risk of suffocation, it outlines specific requirements for allowing air to pass through the caps or tips if it becomes trapped in the throat.
The standard specifies tests for the strength and durability of components to ensure that they do not break easily into small pieces that can be inhaled or swallowed.
While the standard focuses primarily on the physical dimensions and properties of writing instrument components to prevent choking, it may also address the use of non-toxic materials.
The standard may include requirements for how products should be marked or packaged to inform consumers about the safety features or age compliance of writing instruments.
This standard is required for manufacturers and suppliers of writing and marking instruments to ensure that their products are designed with consumer safety in mind. Compliance with BS 7272-1 can contribute to the overall safety of products on the market by helping to prevent accidents such as drowning or suffocation.
