1.1 本试验方法包括收集和分析室内蜡烛燃烧时的可见排放物。 1.2 该测试用于比较蜡烛设计和配方开发过程中的相对烟雾/燃烧行为。 1.3 本试验方法可能不适用于多芯蜡烛；当漂浮在水面上时燃烧的锥形物和蜡烛，通常被称为“漂浮物” 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 本试验方法旨在帮助蜡烛制造商优化蜡烛配方，以减少可见烟雾排放。 5.2 本试验方法旨在为蜡烛制造商提供一个标准程序，用于在蜡烛设计和配方开发过程中比较相对烟雾/燃烧行为。 为了开发该方法，制定了一个协议，将专门制备的测试蜡烛上的灯芯修剪到6 毫米至7毫米( 1. / 4. 英寸。）在每次燃烧循环之前。建议制造商确定标准化方案，即不修剪灯芯或将灯芯修剪至适当长度，以便直接比较结果。 5.3 使用数据直方图和控制图可以建立蜡烛配方的相对排名。 5.4 本试验方法无意规定蜡烛可见烟雾排放的合格/不合格标准，因此，本方法未规定可见烟雾排放的标准水平。

1.1 This test method covers the collection and analysis of visible emissions from indoor use candles as they burn. 1.2 The test is to be used to compare relative smoke/burn behavior during development of candle designs and formulations. 1.3 This test method may not be suitable for multiple wick candles; tapers and candles intended to be burned while floating on water commonly known as “floaters.” 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 The intent of this test method is to aid the candle manufacturer to optimize candle formulations in the reduction of visible smoke emissions. 5.2 This test method is intended to provide candle manufacturers a standard procedure to use during development of candle designs and formulations to compare relative smoke/burn behavior. For the development of this method, a protocol was established for trimming the wick on specially prepared test candles to 6 mm to 7 mm ( 1 / 4 in.) prior to each burn cycle. It is recommended that the manufacturer determine a standardized protocol, that is, either not trimming the wick or trimming the wick to an appropriate length in order for direct comparison of results. 5.3 A relative ranking of candle formulations can be established with the use of a histogram of the data and control charts. 5.4 This test method is not intended to set forth pass/fail criteria for visible smoke emissions from candles, as such, this method sets no standard level for visible smoke emissions.
