As usual like everything in this country that is designed to strangle the life out of any small business I have come across another stumbling block. Wanting to sell some candles at a local event I have been asked for CPSR & CPLP conformance but I can't find regs that apply to beeswax candles. Do you folk have any helpful advice please ?

Candles aren't classed as cosmetics so not sure why they would want that information. Unless you are selling lip-balm or skin creams. We just give a leaflet to customers stating the obvious, do not leave burning unattended etc
Stayed away from doing anything involving CPSR, but I do know a fellow trader who deals with them regularly if you need some advice.
Oh.....and thanks mate for putting your bees on one of my (now Ex) customers farm. :D ....you know the one a couple of miles off the coast. He took great delight in telling me he didn't need any honey from me today.....
