PART 1210--SAFETY STANDARD FOR CIGARETTE LIGHTERS--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart B--Certification Requirements
 
Sec. 1210.14  Qualification testing.

    (a) Testing. Before any manufacturer or importer of lighters 
distributes lighters in commerce in the United States, surrogate 
lighters of each model shall be tested in accordance with Sec. 1210.4, 
above, to ensure that all such lighters comply with the standard. 
However, if a manufacturer has tested one model of lighter, and then 
wishes to distribute another model of lighter that differs from the 
first model only by differences that would not have an adverse effect on 
child resistance, the second model need not be tested in accordance with 
Sec. 1210.4.
    (b) Product modifications. If any changes are made to a product 
after initial qualification testing that could adversely affect the 
ability of the product to meet the requirements of the standard, 
additional qualification tests must be made on surrogates for the 
changed product before the changed lighters are distributed in commerce.
    (c) Requalification. If a manufacturer or importer chooses to 
requalify a lighter design after it has been in production, this may be 
done by following the testing procedures at Sec. 1210.4.
