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.
3、Scope1.1 This specification establishes requirements and test methods for specified elements and for certain mechanical hazards inadult jewelry. It does not purport to cover every conceivable hazard of adult jewelry. It does not cover product performance orquality, except as related to safety. This
4、specification has no requirements for those aspects of adult jewelry that present an inherentand recognized hazard as part of the function of jewelry.1.2 This specification applies only to adult jewelry, as defined in 3.1.13.1.3. Childrens Jewelry, which is defined as jewelrydesigned or intended pri
5、marily for use by children 12 and under, is addressed in anotherASTM standard, Specification F2923-111.3 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),
