BS ISO 22702:2018 specifies requirements for utility lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse of such lighters by users.
BS ISO 22702:2018 applies to all flame-producing consumer products commonly known as utility lighters (also known as grill lighters, fireplace lighters, lighting rods or gas matches), and similar devices.
BS ISO 22702:2018 does not apply to matches and flame-producing products intended for igniting cigars, pipes and cigarettes.
Utility lighters, being flame-producing devices, can, as do all flame sources, present a potential hazard to the user: The safety specifications given in this document cannot eliminate all hazards, but are intended to minimize potential hazards of utility lighters to users.
In order to minimize the possibility of inadvertent ignition or self-ignition, utility lighters shall require a deliberate manual operation to produce a flame.
Those operations shall conform to at least one of the following requirements:
a) asystem such that positive action on the part of the user is required to generate and maintain a flame;
b) a system that requires two or more independent actions by the user to generate a flame;
c) a system that requires an actuating force equal to or greater than 15 N to generate a flame
(see Figure 1 for an example of test equipment).
The maximum attainable flame height for utility lighters shall be limited with a setting or by product design, or both. For adjustable-flame-height utility lighters, the maximum flame height that a user will obtain on first activating the utility lighter without adjustment shall also be limited. These limits shall conform to the following requirements when tested in accordance with 8.2.
