ASTM F2417-23 pdf free download – Standard Specification For Fire Safety For Candles.
This specification aims to establish minimum safety requirements for candles and candle sets, with the goal of providing a reasonable degree of protection during normal use. This will enhance personal safety and reduce the risk of fires, fatalities, and injuries.
It is important to note that this specification does not replace other essential safety practices that should be in place, such as adult supervision, close monitoring, fire detection systems, alarms or suppression systems, and the use of candles away from flammable materials.
The purpose of this specification is to measure and describe how materials, products, or assemblies respond to heat and flame under controlled conditions. However, it does not take into account all factors required for assessing fire hazards or risks associated with actual fire conditions.
This standard is used to predict or provide a quantitative measure of the fire hazard posed by a specific set of fire conditions involving specific materials, products, or assemblies. It is important to note that this assessment may not accurately predict the potential danger of fires that involve different conditions than those assumed in the analysis.
