Se garder de traduire par "emballage de sécurité" car celui-ci traduit une relation de générique à spécifique face à la notion anglaise. Il ne faut pas oublier qu'un emballage de sécurité pour enfants n'en est plus un pour un adulte. 1, record 1, French, - emballage%20s%C3%A9curit%C3%A9%2Denfants

Le terme "emballage sécurité-enfants" provient de l'Association canadienne des traducteurs de l'industrie pharmaceutique (ACTIP). Pour sa part, la compagnie Rhône-Poulenc mentionne "emballage de protection enfant" dans son Vocabulaire de l'industrie pharmaceutique. Soulignons enfin que la revue française "Emballages magazine" dans sa livraison de novembre 1987 nous entretient d'une "fermeture de protection à l'épreuve des enfants". 1, record 1, French, - emballage%20s%C3%A9curit%C3%A9%2Denfants
