Imitation Jewelry Tests

At MassLab, we offer comprehensive imitation jewellery testing services to ensure that your products meet the required reliability, quality, and health standards. Imitation jewellery, being accessories that come into direct contact with the skin, must adhere to strict safety and quality criteria. These tests confirm that the products are free from allergens and toxic substances, ensuring safe and compliant use under TAREKS regulations.

Importance of Imitation Jewellery Testing

Imitation jewellery products are in direct contact with the skin and must therefore comply with specific health and safety standards. The metals, dyes, and other chemicals used in production can sometimes cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, or more severe health issues. Testing under TAREKS confirms that these products do not contain allergenic or toxic substances, thereby ensuring their safety for consumers.

Scope of Imitation Jewellery Testing

Heavy Metal Analyses

• Purpose:
  To determine whether harmful heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic are present in the metal alloys used in imitation jewellery.
• Significance:
  Ensures that the product remains within safe limits for skin contact.

Nickel Release Tests

• Purpose:
  To measure the amount of nickel released from the jewellery.
• Significance:
  Since nickel is frequently used but can cause allergic reactions, these tests ensure that its release is below legal limits.

Allergen and Toxic Substance Tests

• Purpose:
  To analyze dyes, coatings, and other chemicals used in production for potentially allergenic or toxic components.
• Significance:
  Guarantees that the jewellery is safe for skin contact and does not provoke allergic reactions.

Color and Coating Durability Tests

• Purpose:
  To evaluate the durability of the colour and coatings against exposure to water, sweat, and other environmental factors.
• Significance:
  Confirms that the jewellery maintains its aesthetic quality without significant fading or wear over time.

Mechanical Durability Tests

• Purpose:
  To assess the overall mechanical strength, including resistance to breakage, detachment, or deformation.
• Significance:
  Determines whether the jewellery is robust enough for long-term daily use.
