A number in parenthe
2、ses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this consumer safety specification is to establish nationally recognized safetyrequirements and test methods for adult jewelry.1. Scope1.1
3、 This specification establishes requirements and testmethods for specified elements and for certain mechanicalhazards in adult jewelry. It does not purport to cover everyconceivable hazard of adult jewelry. It does not cover productperformance or quality, except as related to safety. Thisspecificati
4、on has no requirements for those aspects of adultjewelry that present an inherent and recognized hazard as partof the function of jewelry.1.2 This specification applies only to adult jewelry, asdefined in 3.1.1. Childrens Jewelry, which is defined asjewelry designed or intended primarily for use by
5、children 12and under, is addressed in another ASTM standard, Specifica-tion F2923-11.1.3 This specification does not apply to the following:1.3.1 Accessories (for example, handbags, belts),1.3.2 Apparel (except as described in 3.1.1(q),1.3.3 Footwear (except as described in 3.1.1(q), and1.3.4 Any ot
6、her item whose primary purpose is functional(e.g., keys, key chains, or other items not primarily intended tobe worn as a personal item of ornamentation).1.4 This consumer safety specification includes the follow-ing sections:Title SectionScope 1Referenced Documents 2Terminology 3Intended User Label

Examples of an age
32、 label might include, but are notlimited to, “Not for children 12 and younger,” “Not for 12,”“For 13+,” “Adult use only,” or any similar language, symbolor combination designed to communicate the primary intendeduser.

37、 in Table 4. Theanalytical results obtained should be adjusted in accordancewith the test method described in 14.2 prior to comparing themto the values in Table 4 to determine conformance. The solublelevel shall be determined by dissolving the contained solids(dried film including pigments, film sol
38、ids, and driers) asspecified in 14.2. An alternative test method may be used if itmeets the requirements of Annex A1.7.2 ReferenceSpecification F2923-11; Consumer SafetySpecification F963-11; EN 71-3.
