It also includes recommendations for age labeling and warnings, and guidelines on identifying the primary intended users (children or adults). It does not purport to cover every conceivable hazard of children’s jewelry. It does not cover product performance or quality, except as related to safety. This specification has no requirements for those aspects of children’s jewelry that present an inherent and recognized hazard as part of the function of jewelry, such as small parts. This specification establishes requirements recognizing that not all jewelry is appropriate for all age groups. Jewelry is not recommended for young children 3 and under absent close parental supervision.1.2 This specification applies only to jewelry, as defined in 3.2.1, which is designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age and younger, as defined in 3.2.2. Children’s jewelry is a product principally designed and intended as an ornament worn by a child. This includes a product or a component of the product intended to be removed and worn by a child as an item of ornamentation (that is, a shoe charm that can be placed on a bracelet). Adult jewelry, which is defined as jewelry designed and intended for use primarily by those over age 12, is covered by another ASTM standard, Consumer Safety Specification F2999.1.3 This specification does not apply to the following:1.3.1 Toy jewelry or any other products that are intended for use by a child when the child plays (that is, a necklace worn by a doll or stuffed animal; novelty jewelry with play value);21.3.2 Accessories (that is, Handbags, Belts);1.3.3 Apparel (except as described in 3.2.1(p));1.3.4 Footwear (except as described in 3.2.1(p));1.3.5 Any other item whose primary purpose is functional (that is, keys, key chains, or other items not primarily intended to be worn as a personal item of ornamentation).1.4 This consumer safety specification includes the following sections:Title Section 1Referenced Documents 2Definitions 3Age-Labeling 4Specifications for Lead in Children’s Jewelry 5Specifications for Children’s Body-Piercing Jewelry 7Specifications for Antimony, Arsenic, Barium,Cadmium, Chromium, Mercury andSelenium in Paint and Surface Coatingsof Children’s Jewelry 8Specifications for Cadmium in Substrate Materialsof Children’s Jewelry 9Specification for Nickel in Metal Componentsof Children’s Jewelry 10Specification for Phthalates in Plasticized Components of Children’s Jewelry 11Specifications for Liquid-Filled Children’s Jewelry 12Mechanical Requirements for Children’s Jewelry 13Test Methods 14Keywords 15Annex Annex A1Rationales Appendix X11.5 The following precautionary statement pertains only to the test methods portion of this specification.
