The RAL Deutsches Institut f\u00fcr G\u00fctesicherung und Kennzeichnung e.V., (the German quality assessment and labelling institute) is responsible for the monitoring of the proper use of quality marks in Germany. The CANDLE quality mark was recognised in August 1997. The quality mark is awarded exclusively by the <a href=\"https:\/\/ral-c.com\/\">G\u00fctegemeinschaft Kerzen e. V.<\/a>, of which we are a founding member.<\/p>\n<p>A manufacturer must only label a product with the quality mark if it has passed a qualifying examination. The examination conditions are specific, objective and clearly defined. In order to guarantee a durable high level of quality, the manufacturer is also obliged to carry out regular monitoring of the product.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_fifth  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Quality and safety are very important to us, which is why we only use high-quality raw materials and check the burning behavior and drip resistance of our candles during the entire manufacturing process. Of course according to the RAL standard, but also beyond that according to our own, even stricter specifications. This is how we maintain a consistently high level in the quality of our products.<\/p>\n<h3>We operate one of the most modern laboratories in Europe<\/h3>\n<p>We are convinced that constant research and development is an important factor for the sustainable success of our company. That is why we have set up one of the most modern candle research laboratories in Europe. Here we develop new ways of making candles and work on increasing the efficiency and environmental compatibility of our products and packaging. At the same time, we achieve a high security of supply through alternative raw material components.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px;
