Webinar: Medical Devices - Torque testing of Child Resistant Closures with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance

Torque testing of Child Resistant Closures (CRC) with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance

In the sectors of medical, pharmaceutical, and chemical packaging, the emphasis on product safety is paramount. The utilisation of Child-Resistant Closures (CRC) is a critical safety measure designed to prevent unauthorised access by children to hazardous substances, whether it be prescription medications or household chemicals. Some caps are designed to be ‘Push and Twist’, while newer designs have the ‘Squeeze and Twist’ design. Whatever the design, the effectiveness of CRCs in safeguarding against accidental ingestion hinges on their rigorous testing and compliance with established safety standards.

This webinar, accompanied by a live demonstration, will delve into the intricacies of CRC Torque testing, a fundamental assessment ensuring that CRC-capped containers fulfil the necessary safety requirements, thereby also mitigating liability concerns. The session will particularly highlight the 'Push and Turn' method, prevalently used in CRC testing, while also covering the equipment and fixtures best suited for these evaluations.

Key Learnings:
• Comprehensive overview of cap torque testing
• Fundamentals of CRC testing
• Significance of CRC torque testing in ensuring safety
• Varieties of CRC cap designs and their mechanisms
• Criteria for selecting optimal testing equipment and fixtures
• Practical demonstration: Application of axial force and measurement of release torque
• Adherence to 21 CFR Part 11 compliance standards
