Child-resistant (CR) packaging is a legal requirement in most regulated markets. This guide explains certification standards, the documentation buyers should keep on file, and how Empti CR products are tested.

What's covered

  • CR standards and what they certify
  • Documentation to keep on file
  • Matching packaging to product format

CR standards

CR packaging is tested to standards such as 16 CFR 1700.20 (US Poison Prevention Packaging Act protocol). Certification confirms the package resists opening by young children while remaining accessible to adults.

Documentation

Keep certificates of compliance on file for each CR SKU you purchase. Empti provides downloadable certificates for Guardian tubes, Shield jars, and LockPouch bags.

Matching packaging to format

Cartridges, disposables, and flower each have suited CR formats. Confirm internal dimensions against your product before ordering — see each product's spec sheet.
