Silicone Mold Safety & Quality Standards
Independent SGS laboratory testing and material documentation
At Candles Molds Ltd, we believe material and quality claims should be supported by clear and verifiable documentation. For applicable silicone materials used within our supply chain, we reference independent laboratory testing carried out by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd.
The silicone materials covered by the reports referenced on this page are supplied and/or manufactured by DONGGUAN SIBETTER NEW MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., a silicone material supplier and manufacturer within the Candles Molds Ltd supply chain.
Our current 2026 documentation includes testing relating to US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 total extractives requirements, EU REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) screening, and EU RoHS restricted-substance requirements.
This page explains what the laboratory reports cover, the results recorded by SGS, and the scope of those results so candle makers, professional users, and business buyers can better understand the material documentation associated with applicable silicone candle molds.
Our Approach to Silicone Material Transparency
When we describe silicone materials as SGS tested, we mean that specific silicone rubber samples and referenced material formulations from our material supply chain have been tested by SGS within the scope stated in the corresponding laboratory reports.
We do not use terms such as “FDA certified,” “FDA approved,” or “SGS certified candle molds” where the available documentation does not support those exact claims.
Instead, we provide information about the testing laboratory, report number, testing standard, report date, tested material, report client, and reported conclusion so customers can clearly understand the basis of our material-quality statements.
If you are comparing different mold materials before choosing a product, our guide to the best materials for candle molds explains some of the differences between commonly used candle mold materials.

Our Silicone Material Supplier and Manufacturer
DONGGUAN SIBETTER NEW MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. is a silicone material supplier and manufacturer within the Candles Molds Ltd supply chain.
The company is identified as the client in the SGS laboratory reports referenced on this page. The submitted samples in those reports are identified as silicone rubber and include specific tested models together with a broader list of referenced silicone material formulations.
This direct supply-chain relationship is why Candles Molds Ltd references these SGS reports when providing supporting material documentation for applicable silicone materials associated with our products.
The presence of a supplier or manufacturer within our supply chain does not change the scope of the laboratory reports. Material-testing statements are only used where they can be appropriately supported by the relevant SGS documentation.
About the SGS Test Reports
The SGS laboratory reports referenced on this page were issued to DONGGUAN SIBETTER NEW MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., which is identified as the client in the original SGS documentation.
The reports cover specific silicone rubber samples, models, and referenced material formulations supplied or manufactured within the relevant silicone material range.
Candles Molds Ltd references these reports as supporting material documentation for applicable silicone materials used in products where the relevant material or formulation can be appropriately connected to the corresponding SGS testing documentation.
These reports should not be interpreted as SGS certification of Candles Molds Ltd itself, nor as evidence that every finished candle mold sold on CandlesMolds.com has been individually tested by SGS.
Where we use the phrase “SGS-tested silicone materials”, it refers specifically to silicone materials and formulations covered by the relevant laboratory reports.
What “SGS-Tested Silicone Materials” Means
When we use the phrase SGS-tested silicone materials, we are referring to silicone rubber materials or formulations covered by relevant SGS laboratory documentation within our material supply chain.
It does not mean that SGS has individually inspected or certified every finished silicone candle mold available from Candles Molds.
This distinction is important because we prefer specific and documented information over broad or potentially misleading certification claims.
For more information about how silicone compares with other candle mold materials, read our silicone candle molds vs other materials guide.
Which Silicone Materials Are Covered?
The SGS reports identify individual tested silicone rubber samples together with numerous client-reference material models and formulations.
For example, the reports include multiple silicone reference models within the supplier's material range. Coverage should therefore be determined according to the actual silicone material or formulation associated with an applicable product rather than assuming that one test automatically applies to every silicone item.
We continue to improve the way silicone material information and testing documentation are connected with applicable products throughout our Silicone Candle Molds collection.
What the Reports Do Not Mean
For clarity, the SGS documentation referenced on this page does not mean:
- Candles Molds Ltd itself is SGS certified.
- Every candle mold sold on CandlesMolds.com has been individually tested by SGS.
- The US FDA has certified or approved Candles Molds Ltd.
- The US FDA has certified or approved every silicone material or finished candle mold covered by our catalog.
- Every silicone mold automatically falls within the scope of the same SGS report.
- A laboratory result for a tested silicone material automatically represents every possible finished product manufactured using that material.
Our material-testing statements are intended to reflect the scope of the available laboratory documentation as accurately as possible.
Why Silicone Material Quality Matters
Material information is one part of choosing a suitable candle mold. Candle makers may also consider flexibility, level of detail, durability, wax compatibility, mold preparation, demolding, and proper maintenance.
Instead of relying only on broad terms such as “premium silicone,” we prefer to provide verifiable information about available material testing wherever appropriate.
If you are learning how to work with silicone molds, our guide to candle making with silicone candle molds provides additional practical information.
You can also learn more about silicone mold durability and lifespan when considering how silicone molds may perform over repeated use.
Cleaning and Caring for Silicone Candle Molds
Material documentation is useful, but correct handling and maintenance are also important for preserving the condition of silicone candle molds.
Cleaning methods, storage, demolding techniques, excessive heat, and the use of sharp tools can affect silicone molds over time.
For practical maintenance information, read our guide to cleaning and caring for silicone candle molds.
Choosing Wax for Silicone Candle Molds
The silicone material used for a mold is only one part of the candle-making process. Wax selection can also affect shrinkage, surface finish, demolding, appearance, and other characteristics of a finished candle.
See our guide to choosing the best wax for silicone molds for additional information.
