Candle Fire and Safety testing
Here's the thing about candle safety testing: it's not exciting, but it's absolutely necessary. Because no manufacturer wants to be the one whose candles caused a problem.
Our candle fire safety testing follows EN 15493:2019 and UK candle regulations including General Product Safety Regulations. That’s the proper way to do it, not the “hope for the best” approach that some people seem to favour.
The candle testing procedures are thorough because they need to be. Our lab team tests everything that matters: burn rates, flame behaviour, container integrity, soot candle testing, the works. We also handle CLP safety data testing because fire safety compliance means covering all the bases, not just the obvious ones. It takes time, but skipping it isn’t an option if you want to sell through retailers or sleep well at night.
Pass the test, and you get the safety certification for candles paperwork that proves your candles won’t cause problems. Fail it, and you get to fix whatever’s wrong before anyone finds out the hard way.
Our candle certification services aren’t glamorous work, but they’re the difference between being a proper candle business and being a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Because compliance isn't optional, and "probably fine" isn't a fire safety standard.
Because our reputation shouldn’t go up in smoke.
