The spotlight is on EN 16738:2015 regulation guidelines, and what is required for this specification!
EN 16738:2015 is a European safety standard that addresses the emission of combustible air fresheners, including candles and incense. It describes testing methods to evaluate the release of Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs from these products and ensures that they comply with safety regulations. The standard was developed to safeguard consumers’ health and well-being by setting limits on potentially harmful chemical emissions from combustible air fresheners. The testing process involves subjecting the combustible product to controlled conditions to simulate real-life usage scenarios. The emitted VOCs are then collected and analyzed to determine their concentration levels. EN 16738:2015 specifies the test methods, sampling procedures, and acceptance criteria, providing a standardized approach for reliable results.
For candle manufacturers, adhering to EN 16738:2015 has several advantages for both producers and consumers! Firstly, compliance with safety standards can enhance a brand’s public reputation, which instills trust among consumers. Secondly, it demonstrates a commitment to producing high-quality and safe products that everyone can enjoy. Lastly, by identifying and rectifying any potential issues with a product during testing, manufacturers can improve their products and stay ahead of regulatory requirements.
