Cufflink Tests

At MassLab, we offer comprehensive cufflink testing services to ensure that your cufflink products meet quality, durability, and health standards. As accessories that come into direct contact with the skin, cufflinks must be free from potentially harmful substances and provide long-lasting performance.

Importance of Cufflink Testing

Cufflinks, which are worn in direct contact with the skin, must be free from harmful substances such as nickel, lead, and cadmium. It is critical that these accessories not only provide aesthetic appeal but also meet high standards for durability, color and coating quality, and overall safety. Our TAREKS-certified testing ensures that your cufflinks are both safe and compliant with established quality standards.

Scope of Cufflink Testing

Heavy Metal Analyses

• Purpose:
  To detect the presence of harmful heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, arsenic) in the metal alloys used for cufflinks.
• Significance:
  Ensures that the products are safe for skin contact by keeping heavy metal levels within acceptable limits.

Nickel Release Tests

• Purpose:
  To measure the amount of nickel released from cufflinks.
• Significance:
  Since nickel can cause allergic reactions, these tests ensure that its release remains below legal limits to prevent skin irritation.

Allergen and Toxic Substance Tests

• Purpose:
  To analyze coatings and dyes for any allergenic or toxic components.
• Significance:
  Guarantees that the cufflinks are free from substances that could harm the user’s skin, ensuring safe long-term contact.

Color and Coating Durability Tests

• Purpose:
  To assess the durability of the cufflink’s coating and color when exposed to water, sweat, and other environmental factors.
• Significance:
  Confirms that the cufflinks retain their aesthetic appeal and resist fading or abrasion during prolonged use.

Mechanical Durability Tests

• Purpose:
  To evaluate the overall mechanical strength of cufflinks, including their resistance to breakage, detachment, or bending.
• Significance:
  Determines if the accessories can withstand daily use and maintain their protective and decorative functions over time.
