JIS H8610 Heavy Metal Testing in Jewelry Alloys
The JIS H8610 standard is a critical guideline for the testing of heavy metals in jewelry alloys, ensuring that products meet stringent quality and safety standards. This service leverages advanced analytical techniques to identify and quantify the presence of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and other toxic elements within precious metal alloys used in jewelry manufacturing.
The process begins with meticulous sample preparation, where alloy samples are ground into fine powders to ensure uniform distribution for accurate testing. Afterward, the prepared samples undergo detailed analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF). These instruments provide precise measurements of heavy metal concentrations down to parts per million (ppm).
Compliance with JIS H8610 is crucial for manufacturers aiming to avoid the use of restricted substances under international regulations like REACH. By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our clients meet the stringent requirements set forth by various regulatory bodies worldwide.
The results are provided in a detailed report, which includes not only the concentration levels but also recommendations for corrective actions if any heavy metals exceed acceptable thresholds. Our team of experts can assist you in interpreting these findings and guiding necessary adjustments to your production processes.

Applied Standards
The JIS H8610 standard is designed to provide a comprehensive approach to the determination of heavy metals in jewelry alloys, ensuring that products comply with international safety and quality standards. This method specifically targets the quantification of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and other potentially harmful elements.
The standard outlines rigorous procedures for sample preparation, including mechanical grinding to ensure uniform particle size distribution, which is crucial for accurate testing. The subsequent analytical steps employ state-of-the-art instrumentation such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF), both of which are capable of detecting trace amounts of heavy metals.
