Soy Candles
Our Romans luxury soy wax candles are lovingly hand poured and blended with scent to bring you an amazing fragrance and create the perfect burning experience. So whether you are relaxing with a book, chilling in front of the TV or soaking in a bath they will create the perfect ambience.
BS Standard tested and certified for fire safety and soot behaviour
Always follow our Candle safety instructions:
1. Always trim the wick before every burn to approx. 3-4mm before burning and always place on a mat to protect your surface.
2. Light your candle in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts, or fans, which can cause sooting (black marks on the vessel), or rapid, uneven burning.
3. Burn until pooled to the edges of glass, approx. 1hr for every inch wide the candle is. Ideally never burn for longer than 4 hours although this may be necessary on first burn for larger candles. Burning for less time can cause the candle to 'tunnel', which leaves a build-up of wax around the vessel's sides. Burning for longer periods (over four hours) can cause the wick to move, or slant.
4. Make sure you stop burning your candle when 10mm of wax remains at the bottom, keeping an eye on a burning candle when the wax is low.

Soy Tealights
Using Romans soy tealights with our wax melts is important to insure a safe non toxic burn and to optimise the fragrance release for the longest duration possible. This is due to soy wax naturally burning cooler than paraffin wax so it doesn’t damage the scent and release it too quickly.
They are also the safer option as unlike Paraffin they do not give off soot that builds up on the inside of your melt burner that could potentially catch fire.
This means you can sit back and relax and enjoy your scents and enjoy the beautiful warm glow also.
To maximise your scent experience It is recommended that your burner measures between 9-11cm tall from the base to the underside of the wax well.
NEVER USE SCENTED TEALIGHTS IN AN OIL BURNER

Candle testing at Romans
A Commitment to Safety and Quality At Romans, we believe that delivering a premium product goes beyond aesthetics and fragrance—it means ensuring that every candle we sell is safe to use and meets the highest quality standards. While external testing of candles to British Standards (BS) is not currently a legal requirement, we have chosen to go above and beyond industry norms. Our candles are independently tested in laboratory conditions to ensure they perform exceptionally well in both safety and efficiency.
OUR DEDICATION TO EXCELLENCE
Every candle in our range, across all four sizes, has undergone stringent testing and achieved remarkable results, exceeding the benchmarks required for compliance. These measures reflect our dedication to providing peace of mind to our customers while maintaining the reputation of our brand.
PUTTING SAFETY FIRST
Clear and Accessible Instructions:
To ensure safe and proper use, we’ve included easy-to-follow candle burning and maintenance instructions on all our product packaging. These guidelines are designed to help customers enjoy our candles safely while maximizing their performance and longevity. From trimming the wick to keeping the candle away from drafts and flammable objects, every precaution is outlined in clear, concise language.
Promoting a Safe and Enjoyable Experience:
By prioritizing education and awareness alongside rigorous product testing, we aim to deliver not just a product but a positive and worry-free experience for all our customers.
MEETING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
Romans candles are tested and certified to meet key European safety and performance standards, ensuring compliance with the UK General Product Safety Directive (GPSD).
BS EN 15426:2018 – Soot Testing.
This standard focuses on evaluating the sooting behavior of candles to ensure they are safe for use in indoor environments. Excessive soot not only affects air quality but can also stain surfaces over time.
Test Requirement: Candles must have an average soot index of less than 1.0 per hour to pass.
Our Achievement: All Romans candles exceeded the standard, producing significantly lower soot levels.
BS EN 15493:2019 – Fire Safety Testing.
This standard ensures that candles meet strict fire safety criteria, reducing risks such as uncontrolled flames, excessive wax pooling, or dangerous overheating.
Test Requirement: Candles must demonstrate safe burning behavior under controlled conditions, including stable flames, no excessive dripping, and resistance to self-extinguishing issues.
Our Achievement: All candles in our range passed these tests, confirming their safe design and performance.
GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND
While adhering to these standards demonstrates compliance and due diligence, our commitment doesn’t stop there. We continue to innovate and improve our products to ensure they remain among the safest and most reliable on the market. By investing in external laboratory testing and prioritizing customer education, Romans is proud to set a benchmark for quality and responsibility in the candle industry.
Our Promise: Safety always comes first—because your trust and satisfaction are what matter most.
