Since 1969, Bird Dog Marketing Group has emerged as a global leader in child-resistant (CR) package testing.

Commitment to Safety and Standards

At the core of Bird Dog Marketing Group's operations is a dedication to safeguarding children from accidental poisonings. The company adheres to rigorous testing protocols, including the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) 16 CFR 1700.20 and the international ISO 8317 standards. These protocols evaluate the effectiveness of child-resistant packaging, ensuring that containers are difficult for children under five years of age to open while remaining accessible to adults.

Comprehensive Testing Services

Bird Dog Marketing Group offers an extensive range of testing services, encompassing various package types such as:

• Aerosol overcaps
• Blister Packs (both reclosable and non-reclosable)
• Continuous thread and snap closures
• Pump dispensers (finger, trigger, and overcaps)
• Flexible and metal containers
• Unit dose packages

Each test is conducted following strict adherence to established guidelines, ensuring consistent and reliable results.

55 Years of Experience Testing Thousands of Unique Package Systems

The experienced team at Bird Dog Marketing Group has proctored testing for thousands of unique child-resistant packages and observed how children 41 months to 52 months old are sometimes able to access the child-resistant package system. The BDMG Proctors are keenly aware of the importance of package design in preventing children from accessing potentially poisonous products. The proctors can communicate what they observe in the field when a package fails. This knowledge assists package designers in their redesign process to ensure the package is as safe as possible once it reaches the consumer.

Global Accreditation and Recognition

Demonstrating its commitment to quality, Bird Dog Marketing Group is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. This accreditation underscores the company's technical competence and ability to produce precise and accurate test data. Such credentials are vital in the global marketplace, where consistent and trusted results are paramount.

Under the leadership of co-founders David S. Hipple and Mark D. Perkins, Bird Dog Marketing Group has built a reputation for excellence. Their combined expertise in respiratory care, business administration, and child-resistant package testing has propelled the company to the forefront of the industry.

Bird Dog Marketing Group's unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and innovation has solidified its position as a premiere provider of child-resistant package testing services worldwide.
