Candle Safety Testing

Candle Safety Compliance for UK and EU Markets
Candles bring warmth, ambience, and relaxation into homes, but can pose serious risks without proper safety compliance. At Connect 4 Compliance, we support manufacturers, importers, and retailers in ensuring their candle products meet all relevant safety and regulatory standards before reaching consumers.
Why Is Candle Safety Testing Important?
Burning candles can occur due to poor manufacturing, unstable flames, or materials that fail to meet safety standards. For safety reasons, testing ensures that your candles burn properly, produce minimal smoke, and maintain their shape. It also ensures compliance with EN 15493, EN 15494, and EN 15426 standards, critical benchmarks for safe candle performance in the UK and EU.
While an independent partner carries out candle safety testing, C4C provides expert gap analysis, testing arrangements, labelling requirements, and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) support as part of our comprehensive compliance package in the UK and EU. Whether you are producing scented, decorative, or novelty candles, aligning with British and European safety regulations is essential to protect your customers and safeguard your brand reputation.
Our Candle Safety Compliance Services Include:
- Burn Performance Assessment
- Soot and Emission Evaluation
- Labelling Compliance (UK & EU Regulations)
- Wick and Wax Composition Analysis
- Container Safety Verification
