CSI Diagnostics · Summer Release Sign-off
A summer approval is only as good as its control. Pour six candles of a SKU, hold two at room temperature and three warm for 14 days, burn one against its twin, and let rules written in advance decide ship, hold or don't ship.
6 → 4
six candles per SKU, four consumed by the sign-off · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Should I test at both room temperature and elevated temperatures? Yes, and on candles from the same pour. The warm arm tells you whether the formula survives summer; the room-temperature arm tells you whether a failure is really about heat. Without it, a sweat on a warm unit could just as easily be a formula that sweats anywhere.How many candles per SKU? Worked example: six from one pot. Two room units, three through your own warm or cycling protocol, one kept all season. Four are consumed by the test.
How long, and what counts as a pass? A 14-day hold with checks on day 1, 3, 7 and 14, lids off, scored 0–3. Room units must score 0 throughout; warm units must score 0 throughout. A film on a warm unit is a hold, not a pass. Then one warm unit is burned beside a room unit before two people sign.
What does it cost? In the worked example (Verbena at 8% in CSI 468, 150 g jar, C1 wick) each candle is ₹260.80 of materials; six are ₹1,564.80, and the four the test consumes are ₹1,043.20. That excludes labour, freight, packaging and GST.
The short answer
Both conditions: room temperature is the control, the warm arm is the stress. Same pour, same days, same scoring.
The sheet: one per SKU — frozen formula, six candles, conditions actually recorded, a 14-day hold, acceptance rules, a burn check, one retained unit, two signatures.
The decision: all zeros and a normal burn = ship; a film on any warm unit = hold and retest; droplets or pooling on warm units = don't ship, go to formula selection; anything on a room unit = the formula fails regardless of season.
The cost: ₹1,564.80 of materials per SKU in the worked example, ₹1,043.20 of it consumed; labour, freight, packaging and GST excluded.

Straight answer
Should I test finished candles at room temperature and at elevated temperatures before approving them for summer shipping?
Yes, both, on candles from the same pour, checked on the same days with the same score, and written on one sheet per SKU. The elevated arm is the stress test: it runs through whatever warm or hot-and-cool protocol you have set up for your own conditions (how to run it is the cycling-protocol post). The room-temperature arm is the control: if it sweats too, the problem isn't summer, and no amount of summer planning fixes it. In the worked example each SKU gets six candles: two at room temperature, three in the warm arm, one retained for the season. Hold them 14 days, score them lids-off on day 1, 3, 7 and 14, burn one warm unit beside one room unit, and only then sign. All zeros and a normal burn clears that exact formula to ship. A film on any warm unit holds it for a retest; droplets or pooling stop it and send you to formula selection. The signature covers one wax, one oil, one load, one wick and one jar; change any of them and the SKU goes back through the gates.
One line: two arms from one pour, fourteen days, four checks, one burn, two signatures, per SKU; the room arm is what makes the warm result mean something.
One SKU's sign-off, bought from scratch: Verbena 100 g (₹590.00), CSI 468 1 kg (₹650.00), ten 150 g jars (₹944.00) and ten C1 wicks (₹59.00) come to ₹2,243.00, with 28 g of oil, 172 g of wax, four jars and four wicks left over. All in stock on 26 September 2026.

Why the room-temperature arm is not optional
A warm-arm failure with no control tells you the candle sweated. It doesn't tell you why.
Many makers who test for summer test one way: they put a few candles somewhere warm and wait. If the candles stay dry, fine. If they sweat, the conclusion is usually "too hot for summer, lower the load". That conclusion is only safe if candles from the same pour, kept at ordinary room temperature, stayed dry over the same days. Soy candles can develop surface oil for reasons that have nothing to do with heat: a load near what the wax holds for that oil, oil added too cool, a short stir, a cold jar (tendencies, covered across this cluster from the day-three droplets hub onward). A formula with one of those faults sweats in the warm arm and in the cupboard. Lowering the load for summer then treats the wrong thing, and the same fault shows up in October.
The room arm costs you two candles per SKU. What it buys is a clean split: warm-only failure means the formula's margin is too thin for heat; failure in both means the formula or process is faulty at any temperature. It also gives you a burn reference at gate 4, a candle from the same pour that never saw the warm arm, so you can tell whether a warm-arm unit burns differently because of what the heat did to it.
What "elevated temperature" means on your sheet
CSI publishes no storage or transit temperature rating for any wax, candle or jar, and does not measure what your candles see in summer. So the "elevated" condition on the sheet is yours: the warm spot, room or hot-and-cool cycle you set up with the cycling protocol, read on your own room thermometer. Worked example only: a closed, non-AC room on the sunny side of the building whose afternoon readings on your thermometer ran 33–36°C across the hold. The sheet records the readings you actually logged, not a target. CSI does not list a room thermometer (the Pen Thermometer is for molten wax), and please don't use a parked car, an oven or anything near a flame as a "hot room": uncontrolled, unsafe, and not what your customers' shelves look like.
Match the arm to where the candle will live
The warm arm should resemble the warmest place a customer or a courier will plausibly keep the candle, not the most extreme place you can build. If your complaints come from one region or route, record which one on the sheet; how different climate bands need different tests is 3290's subject, and transit itself is the mock-shipment post.Reading a release result: pattern → meaning → what rules it out
Every combination of the two arms points somewhere specific. Only one of them points at the dispatch desk.
The rows below are ordered most common first as editorial judgement; CSI publishes no failure statistics. "Score" is the cluster's 0–3 surface score from 3235: 0 none, 1 film, 2 droplets, 3 pooling.
Differential table · two-arm release result
R = room-temperature units · W = warm-arm units · ranked most common first (judgement)
| # | Pattern on the sheet | Most likely meaning | Rules it in | Rules it out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | R all 0; W film (1) at one or more checks, dry by day 14 | Formula near its margin for heat; reversible sweat | Two or more W units show it on similar days | Only one W unit, once: see row 4 |
| 2 | R all 0; W droplets or pooling (2–3) | Load or oil too close to what the wax holds under heat | R stays dry to day 14 | R also marks: row 3 |
| 3 | R and W both score ≥ 1 | Formula or process fault at any temperature | R marks without heat | R dry on a repeat pour with the process corrected |
| 4 | One W unit scores, its twins don't | Unit-to-unit variation: pour order, jar temperature, a cold spot | The marked unit was poured last or into a colder jar | A repeat with four W units all score: back to row 1 or 2 |
| 5 | All scores 0, but W3 lights or burns unlike R2 | Surface or wick changed by the heat even without visible oil | Repeatable on a second W unit | Differences vanish after a normal trim |
| 6 | All zeros, clean burn; K sweats mid-season | Storage after sign-off (hotter than the arm), or a change the sheet didn't cover | K's shelf was hotter than your warm arm | K in the same spot as the arm (check 3228) |
Row 1 is the one makers most want to wave through, because by day 14 the candle looks fine. The cluster's standard is that a sweat that recovers is still a sweat: a customer who opens the parcel on a hot afternoon sees the film, not the recovery. The reasoning is in the summer-versus-AC sellability post; on this sheet, row 1 is a hold.
Mistake: running only the warm arm and, after a failure, cutting the load for the summer batch. What it does: if the room arm would also have failed, the fault is in the process (add temperature, stir, jar temperature), and you have just paid in throw for a fix that doesn't touch it. Fix: always pour the room pair with the warm trio. If a warm failure has no control, re-run it with one before changing the formula.

| Units | Six numbered units and their arm | R1, R2 room; W1–W3 warm; K kept |
| Conditions actually recorded | Room arm location; warm arm location and protocol; daily readings on your own thermometer | Worked example: warm room 33–36°C afternoons, logged |
| Checks | Day 1, 3, 7, 14: lids off, raking light, photo, score 0–3 per unit | 24 scores, 24 photos |
| Burn check | W3 beside R2, same session: first light, flicker, flare, pool at hour 1 and at the end | Log sheet, both units |
| Result and decision | Ship / hold / don't ship, with the rule that decided it | From the decision table below |
| Retained | Where K lives; recheck dates to season end | With outgoing stock; monthly |
| Customer line | What the care label and your listing say about storage and first burn | Care sticker plus your own storage line |
| Signatures | Maker, second checker, date | Two names |
Two fields do most of the work. Conditions actually recorded stops a sheet from saying "tested hot" when the warm room spent half the hold under a cloud; if the logged readings didn't reach the conditions you meant to test, the hold doesn't count. Load and basis stops a common silent error in this cluster: 8% of total weight is 12 g of oil in a 150 g candle, whereas 8% "of wax" added on top is more oil than the sheet says. How to state and convert a load is the load-basis hub.
Walking one SKU from frozen formula to signature
About three weeks, six candles, and one afternoon of burning.
1
2
Pour six from one pot, then cure72 g of oil and 828 g of wax for the six, poured at the wax page's stated 58–60°C, in one session. Number the bases. Cure them exactly as long as you cure stock before dispatch; Verbena's page says "48–72 hours for soy wax" before testing, and many makers wait a week or more (common practice). A unit with a visible pour fault is re-poured, not tested.
3
Split the arms and start the holdR1 and R2 go where your ordinary stock waits, lidded. W1–W3 go into your warm protocol. K goes with R1 and R2 and is never tested to destruction. Start logging room readings for both locations on day 0.
4
Check on day 1, 3, 7 and 14Lids off, raking light, a photo of every surface with its number in frame, a score of 0–3. If you're not sure whether a sheen is oil, use the hub's blot-and-look check. Lids back on after each check. Twenty-four scores by day 14.
5
Burn W3 beside R2Once W3 has been back at room temperature for the same time as R2, trim both the same way and burn them side by side, in sight, for the same session length. Log first light, flicker, any flare, and the pool at hour 1 and at the end. What those differences mean in detail belongs to the sweating-versus-clean twin burn; here, "burns like R2" is the gate.
6
Blind-score the photos, then signA second person scores all 24 photos without knowing which arm each came from. If their scores match yours, both sign. Working alone? Rescore your own photos the next day with the unit numbers covered. Then file the sheet, and put K with the outgoing stock for the season.
Bill of materials · one SKU's sign-off · worked example
Verbena 100 g · CSI 468 1 kg · Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram) · Eco C1 · CSI live pricing, 26 September 2026
| Item | Used | Cost per candle | Six candles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verbena at ₹5.90/g (100 g) | 72 g (28 g left) | ₹70.80 | ₹424.80 |
| CSI 468 at ₹0.65/g (1 kg) | 828 g (172 g left) | ₹89.70 | ₹538.20 |
| 150 g jar | 6 of 10 | ₹94.40 | ₹566.40 |
| Eco C1 wick | 6 of 10 | ₹5.90 | ₹35.40 |
| Total | 6 candles | ₹260.80 | ₹1,564.80 |
Of the six, four are used up (W1–W3 and the burned R2): ₹1,043.20. R1 can join stock if the SKU passes; K stays on the shelf until the season ends. Costs are worked examples and exclude labour, freight, packaging and GST. For three SKUs, 18 candles need 2,484 g of wax, which is where the 5 kg bag earns its place: jars, wicks and wax for the three come to ₹3,387.71 before oils.
Ship, hold or don't ship
The rule decides. Your hopes for the SKU don't.
Acceptance rules · written before the hold starts
Scores are the 0–3 surface score · "any" means any unit at any check
| Result | Decision | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| R1, R2: 0 at every check · W1–W3: 0 at every check · W3 burns like R2 | Ship | Sign, retain K, release summer orders of this exact formula |
| R all 0 · any W unit scores 1 (film), none above | Hold | Repeat with four warm units; or pour the next round one point lower (the step-down pair in 3222) and sign that instead |
| R all 0 · only one W unit scores 1, once | Hold | Repeat with four warm units; if none score, ship; if two or more score, treat as the row above |
| R all 0 · any W unit scores 2–3 | Don't ship | Formula selection: the summer screening grid |
| Any R unit scores ≥ 1 | Don't ship (in any season) | Root cause at room temperature: the non-load checklist |
| Scores clean · W3 lights or burns unlike R2 | Hold | Repeat the burn on W1; read it with 3237 |
Write the rules on the sheet before day 1. Rules written after the results tend to bend towards the SKU you have already photographed for Instagram. And note what the table does not contain: a "ship with a warning" row. If a candle needs a warning to survive summer, the warning belongs on a formula change, not on a label.
Mistake: letting a batch that sweated in the warm arm ship "because it recovered in the AC room". What it does: the customer's candle arrives in the same heat your W units saw, with no AC room in between. In our judgement, don't sell candles that sweat visibly without testing, and a hold is the honest answer to a film. Fix: the retest row, or a step down, then a new sheet.
If you already have a lot poured and sweating, the sheet is the wrong tool; grading and disposition belong to the 100-candle lot post. The sheet decides whether a formula may ship; it never rescues units that have already failed.
What a signature covers, and what voids it
A signature approves one formula for one season. Nothing else.
The signature is only as good as the match between the signed formula and what you pour in June. Anything that changes how oil sits in the wax, how the candle cools or how it burns voids it. The table is our judgement about which changes need the full sheet and which a shorter check; it is deliberately cautious.
Re-approval triggers · judgement
What changed since the signature → how much of the sheet to repeat
| Change | Repeat | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Load, wax, oil or blend | Full sheet | The formula itself changed |
| Jar or wick | Full sheet | Cooling, surface and burn change (see what to retest after a jar change) |
| A new delivery of the same oil or wax | Short check: two warm units, day 1–7, against K | CSI does not publish lot or batch data; your retained sample and K are the comparison |
| Process: add or pour temperature, stir, cooling spot | Full sheet | These are sweat causes in their own right |
| Hotter destination or route than the warm arm covered | A mock shipment (3229) | The arm didn't cover it |
| Nothing changed, next season | Full sheet | Summers differ; K will tell you how the old units aged |
Switching an oil to a cheaper equivalent, even one that smells the same, is a formula change; the full list of what to repeat is the supplier-switch checklist. And the retained unit is not decoration. Recheck K monthly until the hot season ends (judgement): if it starts to mark on the shelf where stock waits, your storage is hotter than your warm arm was, and the next sheet's warm arm needs to match it.
Keep the oil sample too
A sealed 10–15 g sample of each oil delivery, labelled with the date, lets you pour a comparison candle later if a SKU changes behaviour mid-season. CSI does not publish composition or reformulation notices; your own sample library is the evidence (our judgement). For lot numbers, ask us on WhatsApp.What the sheet does not need you to buy
What not to buy for a summer sign-off: A new wax "for summer" before your current formula has failed a sheet: CSI 468's 13% ceiling is a formulation limit, not a heat rating, and no CSI wax page states a storage temperature. Vybar (₹156.00 for 50 g) as insurance: its page says it "prevents mottling and sweating", used "at 0.5%-2% of total wax weight", but in our judgement it is more commonly associated with paraffin work and results vary by wax; adding it creates a new formula that needs its own sheet. A 1 kg of oil before the signature: the six candles need 72 g. Stickers or packaging as a fix: they tell and protect; they don't stabilise.
What does help is cheap: a second person who will score photos blind, a notebook or spreadsheet, and the discipline to fill the conditions field honestly. If you already own a scale, a wax thermometer and a room thermometer, the only purchases are the six candles' materials, and for most SKUs you already have those on the shelf.
Argued against our own interest: if your range is three or four SKUs and every one passes the sheet in your current wax, the right order from us this summer is exactly what you ordered last summer. Keep the formula you've proved. The only reason to change wax is a SKU that fails gate 3, and even then the change goes through 3240's grid first.
Products named on the sheet
Four products, because they are the entries in the worked example's sheet: the wax, the care label, the oil and the jar. Chosen on page statements, price and stock on 26 September 2026; CSI has no stability or storage data to rank on, so nothing here is ranked on performance.

wax · coconut-soy blend · the house wax in this worked example
Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (Flakes Form) For Container Candles
The sign-off sheet has to name one wax and one wax lot, and this worked example uses CSI 468. Its page states "Fragrance Load Up to 13%", "Pour Temperature 58°C – 60°C", "Melting Point 50°C – 53°C", "minimal frosting" and "Excellent hot and cold throw", and it lists "Shelf Life 60 months (cool, dry storage)". At 8% of total weight the sign-off candle sits well inside the stated 13% on either basis. Argued against our own interest: nothing on this page is a storage or transit temperature rating, and no CSI wax page states one. A higher load ceiling is not a heat rating. Don't buy a bag of CSI 468 to "summer-proof" a formula that hasn't been through the sheet; if your current wax passes, keep it. In CSI 464 the same candle would cost ₹241.12 against ₹260.80, ₹19.68 less wax cost per candle.
| Size | Price | Per unit | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 g | ₹325.00 | ₹0.65/g | 3 candles at 138 g of wax |
| 1 kg | ₹650.00 | ₹0.65/g | 7 candles: one SKU’s six, with 172 g over |
| 5 kg | ₹3,185.00 | ₹0.64/g | 36 candles: three SKUs’ sign-off (18) and more |
| 10 kg | ₹6,370.00 | ₹0.64/g | 72 candles: production after sign-off |
One SKU’s six candles use 828 g of wax: the 1 kg bag. Buy 1 kg — ₹650.00

label · customer care line · a lever, not a fix
Candle Care Stickers Roll
The sheet's last field is what you tell the customer, and a care sticker on the base is where that lives. The listing describes "Candle Care Stickers to keep your candles burning clean and strong" in two roll sizes, 1 inch (500 stickers) and 1.5 inch (1,000). The text we captured doesn't state what is printed on them, so if you need a storage line ("keep away from direct sun", say), ask us on WhatsApp before ordering or plan your own label beside it. Argued against our own interest: a sticker does not make a candle stable. It reminds a customer how to burn and keep it; a SKU that fails gate 3 fails whatever is stuck on its base. The larger roll is cheaper per sticker: ₹0.70 against ₹0.83.
| Size | Price | Per unit | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 500 (1 inch) | ₹413.00 | ₹0.83 | one per candle for 500 candles |
| Pack of 1000 (1.5 inch) | ₹699.00 | ₹0.70 | larger sticker, lower price per sticker |
A 200-candle summer run on the 1 inch roll: ₹165.20. Buy the 1.5 inch roll — ₹699.00

fragrance · citrus herbal · the worked-example SKU
Verbena Fragrance Oil
Every SKU gets its own sheet, and the worked example is a summer citrus: the page describes "Crisp lemony verbena with herbal undertones", states "Recommended Fragrance Load: Up to 10% for soy wax Up to 6% for paraffin wax" and "Cure Time: 48–72 hours for soy wax", and suggests it for "spring and summer collections". The page doesn't say which basis its 10% uses; read conservatively as % of wax it is 9.09% of total, and 8% of total (8.70% of wax) is inside both readings and inside CSI 468's 13%. Argued against our own interest: the sign-off needs 72 g of oil. The 100 g bottle covers it with 28 g spare; the 1 kg is cheaper per gram (₹4.72 against ₹5.90), but on 72 g that saves only ₹84.96. Buy the kilo after the signature, not before.
| Size | Price | Per gram | 150 g candles at 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 g | ₹106.20 | ₹7.08 | 1 |
| 50 g | ₹330.40 | ₹6.61 | 4 |
| 100 g | ₹590.00 | ₹5.90 | 8 |
| 500 g | ₹2,478.00 | ₹4.96 | 41 |
| 1 kg | ₹4,720.00 | ₹4.72 | 83 |

container · the jar named on the sheet
Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram)
The sheet records one jar, because a jar change can change how a candle cools and how its surface behaves; a sign-off for one jar does not cover another. The page states an outer diameter of about 7 cm and "Safe for hot pour up to 85°C"; CSI 468's stated pour of 58–60°C is well below that. Clear glass also lets you see the side walls during the hold. An honest limit: the lid keeps dust off and slows the scent escaping; it does not keep a candle cool, and it hides a film from a customer until they open it, which is why gate 3 scores with lids off at each check. Flat ₹94.40 per jar in both pack sizes.
| Size | Price | Per unit | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | ₹944.00 | ₹94.40 | one SKU’s six, four spare |
| Pack of 20 | ₹1,888.00 | ₹94.40 | three SKUs need 18 |
Six jars per SKU; 18 for three SKUs: ₹1,699.20. Buy 10 — ₹944.00
Plan the signatures before summer. Summer runs roughly April–June. A sheet takes about three weeks (cure, a 14-day hold, a burn session), so for a first April 2027 dispatch, pour sign-off candles in the first week of March 2027, after the Valentine's Day (14 February 2027) rush. Send us your SKU count for a quote on CSI 468, jars, wicks and care stickers with a GST invoice.

The CSI principle
Sign off a formula, not a hope: two arms, one pour, rules written first.
The warm arm tests summer; the room arm proves the result is about summer. Zero on every check and a normal burn is a pass. A film is a hold. Anything more is a formula decision, not a dispatch decision.
"The candle you never ship, the one kept at room temperature, is the reason you can trust the one you do."

Why trust this guide
CandleMakingSuppliesIndia sells the wax, oil, jars, wicks and care stickers named here, and does not sell finished candles. This page still tells you not to buy a new wax, an additive or a kilo of oil before the sheet has spoken, and that a sticker does not make a candle stable.
Every price was verified on CSI's live store on 26 September 2026; every size in the pick tables is in stock on that date. Wax, oil and jar wording is quoted from the product pages; where a page is silent in the text we captured (the stickers' printed wording, any storage temperature), we say so.
The six-unit design, the 14-day hold, the acceptance rules, the re-approval triggers and the cause ranking are editorial judgement; warm-room readings are labelled worked examples, never CSI figures. CSI publishes no stability, storage-temperature or lot data. For bulk pricing, GST invoicing, and MSDS and IFRA documentation on request, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.
Frequently asked questions
How do I test candles for summer before selling them?
Pour six candles of one SKU from one pot. Keep two at room temperature, put three through your own warm or cycling protocol and keep one aside. Check all of them lids-off on day 1, 3, 7 and 14, score 0–3, then burn one warm unit beside one room unit before signing off.
Why test candles at room temperature if I am worried about heat?
Because the room units are your control. If they sweat too, the problem is the formula or process, not summer, and a summer-only fix like a lower load may not touch it. If only the warm units sweat, the formula's margin for heat is too thin.
What temperature should I use to heat-test candles?
CSI publishes no test or storage temperature. Use a warm spot that resembles the warmest place a customer or courier will plausibly keep the candle, and record the readings on your own thermometer. Don't use a parked car, an oven or anything near a flame.
Can I sell candles that sweated in a heat test but look fine now?
In our judgement, no, not without more testing. A film that disappears is still a sweat: your customer may open the candle on a hot day. Treat a film on a warm unit as a hold, retest with more units or one point lower, and sign only a clean result.
Do I need to retest my candles every summer?
We'd suggest yes (judgement). Summers differ, and a retained unit from last season shows how the old formula aged. Any change to load, wax, oil, jar, wick or process needs a full re-run; a new delivery of the same oil or wax needs at least a short check.
How many candles should I keep as retained samples?
At least one per SKU per batch, stored where your outgoing stock waits, rechecked monthly through the hot season (judgement), plus a sealed sample of each oil delivery. If a retained unit starts to sweat, your storage is hotter than your test was.
Before your first summer dispatch
Put every summer SKU through the same five gates.
Freeze the formula, pour six, hold two at room temperature and three warm for 14 days, score four times, burn one beside its control, and sign with a second pair of eyes. In the worked example that is ₹1,564.80 of materials per SKU. Send us a finished sheet if a result looks borderline.

Non-price figures: load is a percentage of total candle weight (150 g at 8% = 12 g oil + 138 g wax = 8.70% of wax weight). Page wording quoted: CSI 468 load up to 13%, pour 58–60°C, melting point 50–53°C, shelf life 60 months (cool, dry storage); Verbena up to 10% for soy, cure 48–72 hours; 150 g jar hot pour up to 85°C, outer diameter about 7 cm. The six-unit design, the 14-day hold with day 1/3/7/14 checks, the 0–3 score (from 3235), the acceptance rules, the retention and re-approval rules and the three-week lead time are editorial judgement or worked examples; the 33–36°C warm-room reading is a labelled worked example, not a CSI figure. Sweating statements are tendencies. Costs exclude labour, freight, packaging and GST. Summer (roughly April–June) and Valentine's Day 14 February 2027 are calendar facts.
