I'm an utter noob to candle making, and have been wondering about the ASTM standards. I was actually surprised to find that this set of safety standards we're encouraged (by the courts!) to abide by in order to CYA in case of litigation are... secret???... behind a pay wall??? WTF? I don't understand this at all. Why are the safety standards of the industry hidden from those who need to know and follow them? Am I just naive...?
I was confused by your price quote of $716-$1567, TallTayl. To buy ASTM F2417-17 from the ASTM site itself was $54. This obviously did not include any updates done subsequent to 2017. What is included in the very expensive document you referenced?
Sorry I don't have any input for you guys, but thank you for starting this thread.

I always thought that very same, the last few years have had a huge increase of chandlers, some have never even heard of ASTM. It’s almost never mentioned by “influencers”. It’s only how much money can be made.
