The following are relevant standards for fire safety for beeswax wraps:

Standard	Description

It is imperative that you get your final product tested for food safety before retailing.

The safety of the product can depend not only on the base fabric, but also the choice of wax and the overall construction - it is not enough to just have the fabric tested.

Bunting

There are no specific standards relating to bunting, but depending on their end use, you may consider treating them as vertical wall hangings, in which case they will need to meet the safety requirements for curtains, or toys, in which case they will need to meet the safety requirements for toys.

The following are relevant standards for garments:

Standard	Description
EN 13402:2002	Size designation of clothes
EN 14682:2014	Safety of children's clothing - Cords and drawstrings on children's clothing - Specifications
