The EU Commission Regulation (EC) No 552/2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on REACH as regards Annex XV11, entry 27 for nickel compliance was adopted into UK legislation and is fully enforceable from 1st March 2013, it requires all materials sold to pass the requirements of the nickel release test detailed in BS EN1811:2011.  All products supplied by Cooksonold are classed as compliant against the requirements of BS EN1811:2011.

Products may not be placed on the market if any individual component of the article of jewellery contains lead equal to or greater than 0.05%.  Cooksongold UK Raw Material Purchase specifications typically state maximum impurity levels 0.0005 %( 5ppm) for lead.  Far below the required minimums for compliance.

The REACH regulation also restricts the levels of cadmium in jewellery and states that levels need to be 0.1% or less.  Cooksongold UK Raw Material Purchase specifications typically state maximum impurity levels of 0.003 % (30ppm) for cadmium.

Safety Information

Products are not intended for use by children.  Removal before sleep or physical activity is recommended to reduce the risk of choking or injury.  All chains are finished with a single point of weakness (one unsoldered jump ring) to result in the chain breaking before posing a strangulation risk.  Some products include design elements that protrude and pose a puncture risk.  Physical activity that could result in impact should not be undertaken when wearing the product.  Products are for external use only and not intended for consumption.  Only precious metals are used, to reduce the incidence of metal allergies.  If an allergic reaction should occur, discontinue use.
