The surface of the striker should be treated with red phosphorus and covered with a plastic striker cap for safety reasons.
The ignition head of the fusee/flare should fasten to the fusee/flare in such a way that it can tolerate the friction from the scratching surface contained in the striker cap and will not break off when struck.

It should have no sharp edges and present no dangers to the motoring public if it is accidently left on the pavement.
