EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 17617 testing. This standard specifies safety information for lighting outdoor candles and contains requirements for how safety information should be displayed.
Rods wrapped in fuel-soaked materials such as paper, cardboard, or cloth, lamps on sticks, and products intended for professional use to protect vineyards or orchards from frost damage are not covered by this document.
Candles have accompanied humanity for over 2000 years, serving above all as a source of light. Efforts to improve its quality and safety of use are closely linked to the candle's development history. Controversy about fires caused by unsafe candles in the past and present and/or fires caused by improper use while lighting candles has caused consumers to be concerned about these issues.
Much of the fire damage caused by candles can be attributed to improper consumer use. The candle's fire risk due to improper use can be minimized with appropriate safety information for the consumer. This information will be easily and non-verbally understood.
Before developing a product safety label, an assessment of the hazards of the product and the risk associated with each hazard must be made. The key to this exercise is assessing the risks that remain after protective steps have been taken in the design and protection of hazards and determining which of these hazards will be addressed using safety labeling.
For many products, warnings cannot be made in the form of safety labels about all the foreseeable hazards arising from the use and possible misuse of the product, and overloading information in the form of too many product safety labels should be avoided. Choices must be made about which hazards pose the greatest risk and require a safety label.
