Standard Specification for Annealed Soda-Lime-Silicate Glass Containers That Are Produced for Use as Candle Containers
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the minimum performance requirements and associated test methods for annealed transparent or non-transparent soda-lime-silicate glass containers that are produced for use as candle containers. The glass containers shall conform to specified annealing and thermal shock requirements, and shall undergo appropriate scratch testing to ensure that residual stress is reduced to a commercially acceptable level.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the minimum requirements for annealed soda-lime-silicate glass containers when the producer knows the containers are to be used as candle containers.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.

4. Performance Requirements
4.1 Annealing:
4.1.1 Transparent Glass—Containers examined under polarized light in accordance with Test Methods C148 shall, after
annealing, show no greater than real temper number 4. This performance requirement will also apply to containers that are further
processed (such as ceramic enamel decorations), following the original manufacture, by reheating the container above the strain
point and cooling to room temperature. The Scratch Test (Section 5) can be used as an alternative to Test Methods C148. Containers
tested in accordance with the Scratch Test shall show no fractures.
4.1.2 Non-transparent Glass—If glass condition (color, decoration, etc.) prohibits sufficient light transmission for use of Test
Methods C148, annealing shall be qualified through the use of the Scratch Test (Section 5). Containers tested in accordance with
the Scratch Test shall show no fractures. This performance requirement will also apply to containers that are further processed
(such as ceramic enamel decorations), following the original manufacture, by re-heating the container above the strain point and
cooling to room temperature.
4.2 Thermal Shock:
4.2.1 Containers shall not crack or break when tested tested, with the water retained in the container from the first immersion
through the second immersion, at a thermal shock temperature differential (ΔT) of 50°C (90°F) during continuous production in
accordance with Test Method C149.
