EN 15494:2007 – Candles – Product safety labels

1 Scope
This European standard specifies product safety labels for burning indoor candles.
2 Product safety labels
2.1 Safety information
The messages specified in Table 1 represent the minimum safety information with which a candle can be labelled.
This safety information shall be given on a product safety label in the form of a symbol (see Table 1, 1st column) or text (see Table 1, 2nd column). It shall be visible and legible on the packaging or product. In cases that the safety labelling on the packaging or product is not practical, an instruction leaflet shall be available at the point of sale.
If safety information texts are chosen rather than safety information symbols then they shall be given in their
own national language or languages of the country in which the candles are marketed.
Additional optional safety messages are encouraged (see Table A.1).
NOTE The number of optional symbols or texts used for a candle should be based on risk assessment.
2.2 Layout of a product safety label
A product safety label for candles consists of the following components:
Form 1: General warning sign (see Figure 5) and supplementary safety information symbol (see Table 1, 1st column and Table A.1, 1st column); or
Form 2: General warning sign (see Figure 5) and supplementary safety information text (see Table 1,2nd column and Table A.1, 2nd column).
