Matches - Performance requirements, safety and classification
This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety, performance, classification and labelling of matches, together with their match containers, available to the general public. It gives: - the necessary tests to establish compliance with these requirements; - a sampling procedure to enable the selection of individual matches and match containers for test; - an acceptable quality level for matches and match containers within a sample which fall to comply with the test.
Zündhölzer - Funktionsanforderungen, Sicherheit und Klassifikation
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an Sicherheit, Funktion, Klassifikation und Kennzeichnung von auf dem Markt verfügbaren Zündhölzern und Verpackungen fest. Sie enthält: - Prüfungen hinsichtlich der Einhaltung der vorliegenden Anforderungen; - Durchführung der Stichprobeentnahme einzelnerZündhölzer und Zündholzverpackungen für Prüfungen; - annehmbare Qualitätsgrenzlage für Zündhölzer und Zündholzverpackungen innerhalb einer Stichprobe, die die Anforderungen der Prüfungen nicht erfüllen.
Allumettes - Exigences de performance, sécurité et classification
La présente norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la sûreté, aux performances, à la classification et à l'étiquetage des allumettes ainsi que de leurs contenants distribués au grand public. Elle décrit: - les essais nécessaires à l'établissement de leur conformité au regard de ces exigences; - une méthode d'échantillonnage permettant de sélectionner les allumettes et contenants individuels pour essai; - un niveau de qualité acceptable pour les allumettes et leurs contenants faisant partie d'un échantillon et se trouvant dans l'impossibilité de se conformer à l'essai.

Overview
EN 1783:1997 (CEN) - Matches: Performance requirements, safety and classification - is a European Standard that defines safety, performance, classification and labelling requirements for matches and their containers intended for the general public. The standard sets out the tests required to demonstrate compliance, a sampling procedure for selecting matches and match containers for testing, and an acceptable quality level (AQL) for non‑conforming items within a sample.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Safety and performance criteria for consumer matches, covering both individual match behavior and collective hazards associated with match containers.
- Classification and labelling rules to ensure users receive clear safety information and that products are categorized consistently across the market.
- Conformity testing: the standard specifies the types of tests needed to verify safety and performance (e.g., usability, ignition behaviour, durability and stability under normal handling and storage), and the evidence required to demonstrate compliance.
- Sampling procedure: a defined method for selecting representative samples of matches and match containers for testing to support statistically valid conformity assessments.
- Acceptable Quality Level (AQL): criteria that determine how many items in a test sample may fail while the lot is still considered compliant, supporting quality control and production acceptance decisions.
Note: EN 1783 provides the framework and testing principles; consult the published standard document for full test methods, classification categories and labelling text.
Applications and who should use it
- Match manufacturers and formulators - to design products that meet European safety and performance expectations and to establish internal QC procedures.
- Packaging designers and suppliers - to ensure match containers meet stability and safety requirements and that labels carry required safety information.
- Product safety and compliance officers - to prepare technical files, perform conformity assessments and demonstrate compliance with EU market requirements.
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies - to develop and perform the prescribed tests and sampling plans.
- Importers, distributors and retailers - to verify supplier compliance before placing matches on the market and to support market surveillance activities.
Related standards
- Other CEN/CENELEC or national standards addressing consumer fire safety, labelling and packaging may be relevant for integrated compliance approaches. Refer to regulatory guidance for overlapping obligations (e.g., general product safety).
EN 1783 is essential for anyone responsible for the safe design, production, labelling or market placement of consumer matches in Europe.
