Lighters Safety Standards

There are no compromises on lighter safety. That’s why safety is the n°1 priority for BIC.

International Standards have been established to ensure worldwide consumer safety.
The most common is ISO 9994 which defines safety specifications of a lighter such as maximum flame height, resistance to elevated temperatures, flame extinction, etc.

BIC Lighters meet or exceed ISO 9994 International Safety Standard to assure consumers quality and safety.

BIC® Flint Child Resistant lighter: little guard over the sparkwheel	BIC® Electronic Child Resistant lighter: high force system

In most European countries, a child-resistant safety standard is mandatory.

A child-resistant lighter is a lighter that has been purposely modified in order to make it more difficult to operate for children.

Of course All BIC® lighters sold in these countries are Child Resistant.
