Buyer’s answer: A child-resistant catalog description is not a test certificate. Request evidence for the complete pack design and the standard relevant to the destination market.
Identify the tested configuration
Ask which can body, lid, material and closure version were tested. Changes to the construction can affect whether an older report remains relevant. Keep the report connected to the exact model and final assembly.
Review the report scope
Check the test standard, laboratory, sample configuration, date and conclusion. A triangle symbol or difficult-to-open impression is not a substitute for the report. The market review determines which packaging requirements apply to the finished caffeine product.
Keep user instructions consistent
The approved closure instructions, artwork and finished pack should describe the same action. Review whether opening and reclosing remain clear after labeling. Avoid claiming certification until the relevant evidence has been confirmed.
