Children's Jewelry Testing

Children’s jewelry holds a substantial market share within the jewelry sector, indicating its importance in the industry. With increasing awareness and concerns from parents and consumer agencies, the safety of various products, including earrings, accessories, rings, necklaces, bracelets, toe rings, watches, pendants, and headwear, has gained heightened attention.

In recent years, jewelry products and accessories specifically designed for children have accounted for a significant number of recall notifications issued by regulatory authorities in the EU and the United States. Recognizing the significance of this issue, several countries, including the US, EU member states, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Russia, and Japan, have taken proactive measures to develop their own regulations and standards for toys, specifically targeting the safety of children’s jewelry.
