This standard covers all flame-producing consumer products commonly known as cigarette lighters, pipe lighters, and cigar lighters and such similar devices as defined in 2.4. Matches are specifically excluded from this standard; flame-producing products intended solely for igniting apparatus other than cigars, pipes, and cigarettes are also specifically excluded from this standard.
1.2 This standard establishes requirements for lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use or reasonably forseeable misuse of such lighters by consumers.
1.3 Lighters, being flame-producing devices, can, as do all flame sources, present a potential hazard to the consumer. This specification cannot eliminate all hazards, but is intended to minimize potential hazards of lighters used by consumers.
