Candle Pictograms 2019

These are from EN 15494:2019. This set of pictograms replace the the 2007 pictograms, with some images modified to simplify understanding, make more identifiable and bring up to date images like TVs etc.

NB Thousands of label sellers who have printed label stocks in tens of thousands can still use them as most pictograms are not a legal requirement, but still provide due diligence for the safe use of candles.
