1. A closure cap, comprising:
a lid portion and a cap skirt,
wherein the cap skirt comprises an inner thread and defines a closure axis such that the closure cap can be screwed onto an outer thread of a container neck,
wherein a single piece circumferential security band is arranged on an edge of the cap skirt facing away from the lid portion and connected to the cap skirt via multiple tearable bridges,
wherein at least one latching element is arranged on the inner side of the security band,
wherein the at least one latching element extends inwardly from the security band,
wherein the at least one latching element comprises a first stop surface having a surface normal arranged at least proportionally tangentially to the cap skirt, such that, in an assembled state of the closure cap and a container comprising the container neck, the first stop surface can be brought into engagement with a first stop surface of the container neck,
wherein, by the engagement of the two first stop surfaces, a holding torque acting counter to an opening direction of the closure cap is applied to the security band when the closure cap is initially rotated in the opening direction,
wherein a blocking element is arranged on the security band,
wherein the blocking element comprises a second stop surface having a surface normal facing at least proportionally in the axial direction, such that, in an assembled state of the closure cap and a container, the second stop surface can be brought into engagement with a second stop surface of the container neck,
wherein, by the engagement of the two second stop surfaces, a holding force acting in the axial direction is applied to the security band and the at least one latching element when the container is tilted for pouring a filling material.
