Appendix K: Selected jewellery parts for migration test

Survey and health assessment of chemical substances in jewelleries

In the two tables below is shown how the selected jewellery parts fulfil the criteria for selection (content of heavy metal, coating, product type as well as type of jewellery part). It shall be emphasized that due to the limited number of purchased jewelleries it was not possible to carry out a 100% equal distribution.

Table: The 10 jewellery parts selected among jewellery parts containing above 75 ppm Cd.
