CEN/SS H22 - Smokers' lighters and matches

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.

ISO 9994:2005 establishes requirements for lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse of such lighters by users.
The safety specification given in this International Standard applies to all flame-producing products commonly known as cigarette lighters, cigar lighters and pipe lighters. It does not apply to matches, nor does it apply to other flame-producing products intended solely for igniting materials other than cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.
Lighters, being flame-producing devices, can, as do all flame sources, present a potential hazard to users. The safety specification given in this International Standard cannot eliminate all hazards, but is intended to reduce potential hazards to users.

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for lighters. These requirements are intended to make the lighters subject to the standard's provisions resistant to successful operation by children younger than 51 months. This European Standard is applicable to lighters, as defined in 3.1.
