8 Additional child accessibility requirements—blister packaging

Core requirement (1) If one or more applicable button/coin batteries are packaged in blister packaging, the packaging must be designed so that only a single applicable button/coin battery is released at a time.

Note: This requirement is in addition to the requirement in subsection 7(1) (which applies to all applicable button/coin batteries), but both requirements can be satisfied by complying with Annex E of the Primary Batteries Standard (see subsection (2) of this section and paragraph 7(2)(a)).

Testing requirement (2) The packaging complies with the requirements in subsection (1) if, and only if: (a) before the supply of the applicable button/coin battery to a consumer, representative samples of the packaging are tested in accordance with Annex E of the Primary Batteries Standard (as modified by section 9); and (b) those samples comply with that Annex.
