EN 71-3 Heavy Metal Migration Testing in Jewelry for Kids
The European Standard EN 71-3 specifies the requirements and test methods to assess heavy metal migration from toys and other similar products intended for children under three years of age. This standard is crucial because it ensures that materials used in these items do not pose a risk due to leachable substances, including heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, and others.
Heavy metal migration testing is particularly important in the jewelry sector where small parts may come into direct contact with children's skin. This test is essential for compliance with European regulations, ensuring that products meet stringent safety requirements to protect young users from potential health hazards. Compliance with EN 71-3 helps manufacturers avoid legal issues and maintain consumer trust.
The testing process involves subjecting the jewelry sample to a simulated sweat environment over a specific period. This method simulates real-life conditions where the human body may come into contact with the product, allowing for the detection of any heavy metals that could leach out under such circumstances. The test measures the concentration of these metals in the solution, providing insights into potential risks.
Our laboratory adheres to strict protocols and uses advanced analytical instruments to ensure accurate measurement and reliable results. Compliance with EN 71-3 is mandatory for manufacturers exporting products to Europe or selling them within European Union member states. Failing to meet these standards can lead to product recalls, legal penalties, and damage to brand reputation.
