Conformity to the requirements specified in 7.1 to 7.5, 7.6.1 and 7.7 shall be verified by visual examination. NOTE Examples of typical labels for bangers, for which many of the marking requirements are similar to those specified for primary packs of Bengal matches in this standard, are given in EN 14035-4. 7.2 Type name and category The type name shall be marked, in upper case, as 'BENGAL MATCHES'. If a trade name is used in addition to the type name, it shall not conflict with the principal effects of a Bengal match or with the name of another type of firework.
