JSA JIS S 4801

Abstract

This Standard establishes requirements for lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse of such lighters by users. <br>Lighters, being flame-producing devices, can, as do all flame sources, present a potential hazard to users. <br>The safety specification given in this Standard cannot eliminate all hazards, but is intended to reduce potential hazards to users. The safety specification given in this Standard applies to all flame-producing products commonly known as lighters (as defined in 2.1). 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. <br>NOTE 1 See <strong>JIS S 4802</strong> for the specification of utility lighters. <br>NOTE 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows: <br>ISO 9994: 2005 <em>Lighters&#8212;Safety specification</em> and Amendment 1:2008 (MOD) <br>The symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to <strong>ISO/ IEC Guide 21-1</strong>.
