candle flame test
Explanation:
It refers to a laboratory test using a Bunsen burner to simulate accidental exposure of the device to a candle flame.

The following text pre-dates the inclusion of the test in IEC60065 (not readily available on the web), but provides useful background info and terminology:

https://www.flameretardants-online.com/news/archive?showid=1...
The criteria include testing with a Bunsen burner flame simulating a candle flame (UL 94 vertical test). Materials or items (outer housings >300 g) subjected to this flame shall not release enough heat to ignite other items and have to meet at least the classification UL 94 V1. These new requirements were foreseen to be introduced into the existing IT equipment and audio/video standards IEC 60950 and IEC 60065, respectively, and in the new standard IEC 62368 "Audio/Video, Information and Communication Technology Equipment - Safety Requirements".
