               Preface
               "Child-Resistant Packages for Pesticides"
               The purpose of this publication is to provide a quick
               guide to child-resistant packages for use by Agency
               "personnel" wanting to know if a package is
               intended by the manufacturer to be a child-resistant
               design, and/or who manufactures the package.
                 This publication is a cumulative compilation of the
               various child-resistant packages which are/may be
               used for pesticides. An earlier publication entitled
               Identification of Selected Child-Resistant Closures
               (Continuous Thread, Lug-Bayonet, and Snap
               Closures)  by Rosalind L Gross and  Harry E. White
               August 1978 was written while in their official
               capacity with the Consumer Product Safety
               Commission.
                 Packages are designated as child-resistant on the
               basis  of the manufacturers' claims.  The
               Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not
               usually review the manufacturers' test data on
               child-resistant  packages. The exception to this policy
               is an enforcement action involving a pesticide as
               packaged. In an enforcement action the Agency may
               exercise its right under the child-resistant packaging
               regulations to  review the manufacturer's test data.
               The appearance, however, of a package in this
               publication is not intended in any manner to denote
               endorsement or approval of the package by the
               Agency. This publication is not a comprehensive
               listing of all child-resistant  packages. The
               child-resistant  packages (CRP) discussed in this
               publication are not the,only ones which may be used
               for pesticides  nor are  these packages only for use on
               pesticides. Rather the inclusion or exclusion of a
               package as CRP for pesticides  in this publication is
               based on information  provided  to the Agency by the
               manufacturer.  Any CRP manufacturer advising the
               Agency of an addition to this publication will be
               advised that their package will  be held for future
               updates of the publication
U,S. Environments'  Protection Agency

Introduction
The Poison Prevention Packaging Act, PPPA, which
provides for child-resistant packaging (CRP) of toxic
products other than pesticides was enacted to
protect children under five years of age from serious
illness or injury resulting from ingestion of or contact
with hazardous substances. Child-resistant packaging
requirements were adopted in lieu of or in addition
to various label options such as "Keep Out of Reach
of Children" that failed to provide adequate
protection to children. The PPPA previously regulated
the packaging of pesticides but was amended in
1976 to exclude them and the responsibility now
rests with EPA.
  The regulation for the child-resistant packaging of
pesticides, 40 CFR 162.16, implements Section 25
(c)(3)  of the  Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, which
authorizes standards for the packaging of pesticides
or devices to protect children and adults from
serious illness or injury resulting from accidental
ingestion or contact with these pesticides or
devices.  FIFRA requires  that, to the  extent possible
these standards shall be consistent with those under
the PPPA, which is currently administered by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
  The purpose of this publication is to provide a
quick guide to child-resistant packages (CRP) for use
by Agency personnel wanting to know if a package
is a child-resistant design, and/or who manufactures
it. This publication uses the American Society of
Testing Materials (ASTM) standard classification for
CRP.  The ASTM is a voluntary standards
organization. The purpose of the ASTM standard
classification of CRP, D3475-83, is to establish a
uniform set  of terminology for the various types of
CRP in order to promote a universal description for
any CRP-type package

Hedgard FS - 70
(no subset)
DESCRIPTION
The 70mm closure is a one
piece plastic continuous
threaded closure which is
opened by turning
counter-clockwise. The
closure is vented (see center
of cap, and upside down
view of cap in photograph)
by means of a small hole
and covered  with a resistant
material. The closure has an
o-ring inside  it which makes  it
difficult to remove. This type
of closure is  used on
packages such as tighthead
pails for products like liquid
pool chemicals.
  The instructions are:
      Close Tight

   I (no subset)
 DESCRIPTION
The 70 mm one piece
plastic continuous threaded
closure is opened by turning
counterclockwise. The
closure, which is not vented,
has an o-ring inside it (see
arrow in  photograph) making
it difficult to remove. The
FS-70 only differs from the
FS-80 in that it has a %"
National Pipe Thread, NPT,
for dispensing purposes (see
photograph). The closure
may be used on a package
i.e. a tighthead pail with a
neck finish in accordance
with Rieke's specifications.
One such tighthead pail is
the Bennett Industries
tighthead 5 gallon pail (see
photograph). This package
(closure and tighthead pail) is
used for products such as
liquid pool chemicals.
  On both models the
instructions are:
  x—Open,  *^_Close tight

DESCRIPTION
This is a two piece
plastic/plastic continuously
threaded closure. The
package is opened by
aligning the tabs on the
bottom of the two closure
pieces (inner and outer),
pushing down on the tab on
top of the closure and then
turning the closure
counterclockwise. Note the
