Certification mark for BBQ firelighters and lamp oils
Scope:
The certification mark applies to firelighters for lighting barbecue charcoal and to lamp oils. Given this, the scope includes solid firelighters and firelighter fluids as well as lighter gels and gases.
Basis of certification:
The certification mark is awarded within the framework of voluntary testing and certification. The test procedure of TÜV SÜD Product Service was developed according to the EN 1860-3 standard. The standard includes requirements for the safety, burning characteristics and ignition performance of firelighters and the test methods to be applied.
Key words of the certification mark:
Consumer safety
Consumer safety
TÜV SÜD Product Service tests the product for their safety, and thus for their composition, flashpoint and viscosity. Testing also covers performance, such as burning characteristics.
The product packaging is inspected for safety and for the required labelling, such as hazard statements, hazard pictograms and precautionary statements.
Production monitored
As a third-party expert organisation, TÜV SÜD Product Service verifies that the manufacturer is able to maintain consistent quality in line with the requirements throughout high-volume production and has established the necessary quality system, including incoming goods inspections, lists of materials and finished product testing.
In addition, calibration of the necessary measuring and monitoring equipment must be ensured. Surveillance and/or monitoring covers the testing of safety-critical components and other materials used. If unauthorised changes are made to the product, certificate validity will expire and the TÜV SÜD certification mark may no longer be used.
