Exporting alloy necklaces to California definitely requires attention to compliance issues. California Proposition 65 testing is a crucial hurdle for entering the local market. Your necklace needs to pass testing and ensure it meets relevant limits to be sold smoothly.
I. Key Points of California Proposition 65 Testing for Alloy Necklaces
Testing Items and Limit Standards
| Tested Substances | Limit Requirements | Remarks
| Total Lead | ≤100ppm (accessible parts) | Coatings may require ≤90ppm
| Total Cadmium | ≤300ppm (accessible parts) | Testing only for accessible parts of jewelry
| Phthalate | DEHP/DBP/BBP, etc. ≤0.1% | Common plasticizers, testing required for accessible plastic parts
Note: If the product contains the above substances and exceeds the limits, a warning label stating "This product contains known carcinogenic/reproductive toxic chemicals in California" must be affixed to the packaging.
II. Processing Procedure (5-10 working days)
1. Consultation and Quotation
Contact a CNAS/CMA certified body (e.g., Dezeway Testing, CNAS registration number: L8083), provide a list of product materials (metal alloy composition, plating type, etc.), and obtain a customized testing solution.
2. Sample Submission
Send 2-3 complete samples as required (including all components such as chains and pendants). It is recommended to also provide material specifications.
3. Laboratory Testing
Heavy metal content is analyzed using instruments such as ICP-MS, and phthalates are detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Preliminary results are typically available within 5 working days.
4. Report Issuance
After passing the test, obtain an English version of the report. The report must include:
- Product information (name, model, material)
- Test items and specific values
- Comparison conclusion with California Proposition 65 limits
III. Cost Reference
| Test Combination | Cost Range (RMB) | Applicable Scenarios
| Lead + Cadmium + 6 Phthalate Specimens | 1000-2000 RMB | Includes plastic accessories (e.g., resin pendants)
IV. Compliance Recommendations
1. Supply Chain Management
Require metal raw material suppliers to provide lead and cadmium content test reports, and prioritize low-lead environmentally friendly alloys (e.g., 316L stainless steel, titanium steel).
2. Labeling Standards
Even if the test is passed, it is recommended to label the hangtag or packaging with "Complies with California Proposition 65" to enhance consumer trust.
3. Regulatory Tracking
The California Proposition 65 list is updated quarterly. In 2025, BPS and other reproductive toxins will be added. Ensure that the test items cover the latest controlled substances.
