Preferred label	Industrial oils and greases; lubricants; dust absorbing, wetting and binding compositions; fuels (including motor spirit) and illuminants; candles and wicks for lighting
Definition	Class 4 contains primarily oils, greases and lubricants, as well as fuels and non-electrical illuminants, such as candles. The class also includes wetting and binding compositions. These compositions are included in Class 4 because they are usually oil or grease based. It should also be noted that goods that use Class 4 fuels and illuminants are not in Class 4. For example, lanterns are in Class 11. This would include lanterns powered by electricity or by a Class 4 fuel. It should be noted that candles and wicks for lighting are in Class 4. The classification of this item in Class 4 may seem inconsistent since other items for lighting are in Class 11. However, the difference between these items and the reason for the classification of candles in Class 4 rather than Class 11 is that candles are inseparable from and, in fact, are composed of the fuel that makes them work, namely, wax. A lantern in Class 11, on the other hand, is the apparatus that will provide the illumination once a Class 4 fuel, such as, kerosene, is added to it so it will provide light.
