This international Standard establishes requirements for lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for
normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse of such lighters by users.
The safety specification given in this International Standard applies to ail flame-producing products commonly
known as cigarette lighters, cigar lighters and pipe lighters. It does not apply to matches, nor does it apply to
other flame-producing products intended solely for igniting materials other than cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.
Lighters, being flame-producing devices, can, as do all flame sources, present a potential hazard to users.
The safety specification given in this International Standard cannot eliminate all hazards, but is intended to
reduce potential hazards to users.
