Appendix C: DST categorization of jewelleries

Survey and health assessment of chemical substances in jewelleries

Jewelleries on the market in Denmark can statistically be divided into a number of categories. Eurostat and Statistics Denmark use the following codes:

Jewelleries of precious metals, with a sub-division in seven categories (7113xxxx, 7114xxxx and 7115xxxx). The seven categories, which are not described in details here, include products of gold, silver, platinum, precious stones, semiprecious stones and pearls. These types of jewelleries are in general placed under rules in the professional jewellery industry and the content of metal is controlled by the Danish assay office.
Bijouterie (custom jewellery), which also can be divided into a number of sub-categories:
1. Bijouterie goods (except sleevelinks and collar studs) of base metals which might be coated with precious metals and which contain parts of glass (7117 1910). Text on goods: ”Bijouterie goods of base metals with parts of glass with exception of sleevelinks and collar studs”
2. Bijouterie (except sleevelinks and collar studs) of base metals which might be coated with precious metals, without parts of glass (7117 1991). Text on goods:”Bijouterie goods of base metals, without parts of glass, gold-coated, silver-coated or platinum-coated”
3. Bijouterie of artificial metals which are not coated with precious metal (7117 1999). Text on goods: ”Bijouterie goods of base metals, without parts of glass, not gold-coated, silver-coated or platinum-coated”
4. Bijouterie of other materials than base metals (e.g. leather, plastic, wood, horn etc.) (7117 9000). Text on goods: ”Bijouterie goods, except base metals”
