Lighters - Safety specification (ISO 9994:2018)

This document specifies requirements for lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal
use or reasonably foreseeable misuse of such lighters by users.
This document applies to all flame-producing products commonly known as cigarette lighters, cigar
lighters and pipe lighters.
It does not apply to matches and flame-producing products intended solely for igniting materials other
than cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.

Feuerzeuge - Festlegungen für die Sicherheit (ISO 9994:2018)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen für Feuerzeuge im Hinblick auf ein vernünftiges Sicherheitsniveau bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch oder bei vorhersehbarem, beabsichtigtem Missbrauch solcher Feuerzeuge durch Benutzer fest.
Die in dieser Internationalen Norm enthaltenen Sicherheitsfestlegungen gelten für alle flammenerzeugenden Produkte, die allgemein als Feuerzeuge für Zigaretten, Zigarren und Pfeifen bekannt sind. Sie gelten nicht für Streichhölzer oder andere flammenproduzierenden Produkte, sondern ausschließlich für Produkte, die zum Anzünden von Zigaretten, Zigarren und Pfeifen gedacht sind.
Feuerzeuge als Flammen erzeugende Einrichtungen können, wie alle Flammenquellen, ein potenzielles Risiko für den Benutzer darstellen. Die in dieser Internationalen Norm enthaltenen sicherheitstechnischen Festlegungen können nicht alle Risiken ausschließen, sie sind aber dazu bestimmt, das potenzielle Risiko für Benutzer zu reduzieren.

Briquets - Spécifications de sécurité (ISO 9994:2018)

Le présent document spécifie des exigences relatives aux briquets qui permettent d'assurer aux utilisateurs un niveau de sécurité raisonnable lors de leur usage normal ou anormal mais raisonnablement prévisible.
Le présent document couvre tous les produits de consommation produisant une flamme, communément désignés sous les appellations de briquets pour cigarettes, briquets pour cigares et briquets pour pipes.
Il ne s'applique pas aux allumettes ni aux dispositifs produisant une flamme destinée uniquement à allumer des matériaux autres que des cigarettes, des cigares et des pipes.

Vžigalniki - Varnostna specifikacija (ISO 9994:2018)

Ta dokument določa zahteve za vžigalnike, s katerimi se zagotovi razumna stopnja varnosti za normalno
uporabo ali razumno predvidljivo zlorabo takih vžigalnikov s strani uporabnikov.
Ta dokument velja za vse izdelke, ki proizvajajo plamen in so splošno znani kot vžigalniki za cigarete, cigare in pipe.
Ne uporablja se za vžigalice in izdelke, ki proizvajajo plamen, in so namenjeni izključno za vžig drugih materialov
kot so cigarete, cigare in pipe.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 4, Burning
behaviour.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 9994:2005), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Clause 2, 3.22, 3.23, subclause 4.2.2.4, subclause 4.2.3, subclause 4.2.4, subclause 4.7, subclause 6.1.2,
subclause 6.11.2.2.9 and subclause 6.11.2.2.10 have been added.
— term number 3.6, subclause 4.2.2.3, subclause 4.5, subclause 5.1, subclause 5.7, Figure 4,
subclause 6.3.2.7, subclause 6.7.4, subclause 6.9.3.3, subclause 6.10.4, subclause 6.12.3, subclause 7.3.1,

Introduction
Lighters, being flame-producing devices, can, as do all flame sources, present a potential hazard to
users. The safety specifications given in this document cannot eliminate all hazards, but are intended
to reduce potential hazards to users.
This document is intended to be revised periodically to consider flame height reduction for the various
technologies in line with technological progress.
