                     TITLE 16--COMMERCIAL PRACTICES
 
             CHAPTER II--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
 
PART 1212--Safety Standard for Multi-Purpose Lighters--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart B--Certification Requirements
 
Sec.  1212.14  Qualification testing.

    (a) Testing. Before any manufacturer or importer of multi-purpose 
lighters distributes multi-purpose lighters in commerce in the United 
States, surrogate multi-purpose lighters of each model shall be tested 
in accordance with Sec.  1212.4 to ensure that all such multi-purpose 
lighters comply with the standard. However, if a manufacturer has tested 
one model of multi-purpose lighter, and then wishes to distribute 
another model of multi-purpose 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.  
1212.4.
    (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 multi-purpose lighters are 
distributed in commerce.

    (c) Requalification. If a manufacturer or importer chooses to 
requalify a multi-purpose lighter design after it has been in 
production, this may be done by following the testing procedures at 
Sec.  1212.4.
