Quality Control Tests for Long-Lasting Tea Light Candles

 

 

Core Quality Control Tests for Long Lasting Tea Light Candles

 

  • Burning Time Verification Test: The burning time test is the most core quality control item for long lasting tea light candles . The test is conducted in a constant temperature (20-25℃) and windless environment, with each long lasting tea lights placed vertically on a heat-resistant platform. The test records the time from ignition to complete wax burning (no residual wax that can be burned). The standard burning time for qualified long burn tea light candles is not less than 6 hours, and Ounis sets a stricter internal standard of 6.5-8 hours to ensure long-lasting performance. Random sampling is conducted for each batch, with a sampling rate of not less than 3%.

 

  • Wax Melting Uniformity Test: Uniform wax melting is an important prerequisite for ensuring the long-lasting performance of long lasting tea light candles. During the test, the burning state of the candle is observed every 30 minutes, focusing on whether the wax surface melts into a flat layer, whether there is obvious unmelted wax around the cup, and whether there is wax overflow. A qualified long lasting tea lights should have uniform wax melting, no local residual wax, and no wax overflow. Ounis uses high-definition cameras to record the entire melting process, ensuring accurate observation and judgment of test results.

 

  • Flame Stability and Safety Test: For long burn tea light candles, flame stability is not only related to user experience but also to safety. The test checks the flame height (standard 2-3cm), whether there is flickering, tilting, or sudden extinguishing during long-term burning, and whether there is excessive soot or smoke. Additionally, the heat resistance of the candle cup is tested to ensure it does not deform or crack at high temperatures. Ounis also conducts a flame retardancy test on the candle wick to prevent potential safety hazards caused by wick deviation during long burning.

 

  • Wick Performance Durability Test: The durability of the wick directly affects the long-lasting burning effect of long lasting tea light candles. The test evaluates the wick's oil absorption capacity, combustion stability, and deformation resistance during long-term burning. A qualified wick should maintain stable oil supply throughout the burning process, not bend or break, and not leave excessive wick residue after burning. Ounis selects high-quality wicks through pre-testing and conducts durability verification together with the candle burning test to ensure the matching performance of wick and wax.

 

  • Storage Stability Test: long lasting tea lights need to maintain stable performance during transportation and storage. The storage stability test simulates different environmental conditions (temperature: -5℃ to 35℃, humidity: 40%-80%) and stores the candles for 30 days. After storage, the burning time, wax melting state, and flame stability are re-tested to check whether the product performance deteriorates. Ounis ensures that long burn tea light candles can maintain long-lasting performance under various storage conditions through this test.
