Are the heat packs safety tested?

Our own brand (WheatyBags®) products have been safety tested to the BS8433:2004 standard. This is an optional safety test (at the time of writing this online entry) and it is your own decision that has to be made on which of the following you prefer for the heat packs:

OPTION 1
WheatyBags® branded items – if you want the BS8433:2004 safety testing to be known to the recipient that is to use the heat pack, then you must use our own WheatyBags® branded labels. This is shown on a sewn-in fabric heating instructions label, and also an attached card swing tag and identifies our company and web details as manufacturer and required by the standard.

OPTION 2
If you decide that you do not want the WheatyBags® branded labels showing at all, we can supply plain stock, with no branded labels of our own, and a plain cover generic heating swing card to attach to the product. You cannot claim the product passes the testing at all, and the heating guide is only a generic one and covers all options for all products and you are relying on the recipient to not overheat (or burn in flames) the product which can happen if they overheat. We do not recommend this option though the choice is entirely yours.

OPTION 3
We can send the items to be separately tested for BS8433:2004 if you prefer, and have separate labels made for the sew-in heating instructions and the attached card instructions. The manufacturer could then be identified as yourselves or your client and the safety testing could be marked up on the product. For independent testing, we charge £1250 per product per time tested until passed, and £550 for MOQ 1000 card attachment labels and £1000 for specially made MOQ 10,000 sew in heating fabric labels. This is all optional for you but allows you to make an informed choice.
