Soot Candle Testing

"Soot Happens. But It Shouldn't."

While others are busy making excuses about “natural candle behaviour,” we’re actually doing something about it. Our candle soot testing service cuts through the industry’s casual attitude toward what should be a non-negotiable standard.

Our in-house lab team at Stennah & Hope doesn’t mess about – we conduct rigorous candle testing aligned with EN 15426:2018 and UK General Product Safety Regulations because candle safety compliance isn’t optional, it’s the bare minimum. Our candle soot analysis will tell you straight whether your candles pass or fail the sooting behaviour test, no sugar-coating.

Here’s the reality: customers notice soot. They remember it. They talk about it. A clean burn isn’t just about compliance – it’s about not giving your competition ammunition against you. Pass our test, and you’re not just ticking regulatory boxes through our candle quality assurance process, you’re proving you actually produce clean-burning candles and care about what comes out of your factory.

Because your reputation shouldn’t go up in smoke.

Our candle testing services cover single-wick indoor candles up to 250g and 100mm diameter. Got something bigger? Don’t assume we can’t handle it – contact our team at support@stennahandhope.com and we’ll sort you out or fill out the form below.
