# Commission Decision of 7 March 2013 on the safety requirements to be met by European standards for certain seats for children pursuant to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on general product safety (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/121/EU), Division: Packaging

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Bags made of flexible plastics that are used for packaging, and that have an opening perimeter larger than the circumference of a child’s head, must not put the child at risk of suffocation. The use of drawstrings or cords to close such packaging, or to close self-adhesive packaging (e.g. ‘cling-film’ type packaging) is prohibited.
The packaging that contains the products must not present a risk of suffocation caused by an obstruction of the mouth and nose. To this end, when not incompatible with moisture exclusion, plastic packaging should be perforated.
Bags must be conspicuously marked with the following warning or an equivalent warning: ‘WARNING! Keep packaging away from children to prevent them from suffocating’. They must also bear a large, clear symbol or diagram indicating that there is a potential hazard.
