AFNOR safety labels

AFNOR safety labels – For compliant and professional handcrafted candles

Safety is an integral part of creating a handcrafted candle. AFNOR (French Standardization Association) is an organization specializing in the development of technical and regulatory standards in various fields. It also develops standards for the candle industry, and these are the ones we are interested in here.

The standards concerning the manufacture of spark plugs (NF EN 16740, NF EN 15426, NF EN 15493, NF EN 15494 and NF EN 17616) are voluntary. They are therefore not mandatory, but their application is strongly recommended. They help to limit the risk of accidents, clearly inform the user about best practices, and protect the manufacturer in the event of an incident.

A roll suitable for all your containers

This roll contains 200 ready-to-use self-adhesive labels, specially designed for most scented and decorative candle containers.

Each label features 11 pictograms, including:

• The mandatory safety pictograms, including the two required by the NF EN 16740 standard of December 2015 : avoid inhaling smoke directly and ventilate the room after use.
• Optional pictograms to supplement user information.

Available with a white or transparent background to match your designs and packaging.

Technical specifications

• Ready to use : simply stick the sticker to the base of your candle.
• Diameter: 40 mm
• Powerful heat-resistant adhesive, compatible with glass, metal and most waxes.

Warning: These labels are not suitable for floating candles, as the pictogram “Use in a suitable cup filled with water” is not included in this roll.

Why use an AFNOR label?

• Limit domestic risks associated with the misuse of candles.
• Strengthen your brand's compliance and professionalism.
• Reassure your buyers, especially during sales in stores or on marketplaces.
• Protecting yourself in the event of an incident by adhering to good security practices.

These labels are an essential element of the conformity and reliability of your products, while also highlighting your artisanal and responsible approach.
