                  Subpart B--Child-Resistant Packaging
 
Sec. 157.21  Definitions.

    Terms used in this subpart shall have the following meanings:
    (a) Appropriate, when used with respect to child-resistant 
packaging, means that the packaging is chemically compatible with the 
pesticide contained therein.
    (b) Child-resistant packaging means packaging that is designed and 
constructed to be significantly difficult for children under 5 years of 
age to open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount of the substance 
contained therein within a reasonable time, and that is not difficult 
for normal adults to use properly.
    (c) Package or packaging means the immediate container or wrapping, 
including any attached closure(s), in which the pesticide is contained 
for distribution, sale, consumption, use or storage. The term does not 
include any shipping or bulk container used for transporting or 
delivering the pesticide unless it is the only such package.
    (d) Practicable, when used with respect to child-resistant 
packaging, means that the packaging can be mass produced and can be used 
in assembly line production.
    (e) Residential use means use of a pesticide or device:
    (1) Directly on humans or pets;
    (2) In, on, or around any structure, vehicle, article, surface or 
area associated with the household, including but not limited to areas 
such as non-agricultural outbuildings, non-commercial greenhouses, 
pleasure boats and recreational vehicles; or
    (3) In or around any preschool or day care facility.
    (f) Technically feasible, when applied to child-resistant packaging, 
means that the technology exists to produce the child-resistant 
packaging for a particular pesticide.
    (g) Unit packaging means a package that is labeled with directions 
to use the entire contents of the package in a single application.
