ASTM Jewelry Testing: Summary of Mechanical Specifications
Jewelry with Batteries
If the battery in the jewelry is defined as a "small part" (with any dimension less than 1.25 inches) or poses a risk of being easily swallowed, it should be ensured that the battery cannot be removed without using common tools (such as a screwdriver).Jewelry Containing Magnets
All jewelry containing hazardous magnets must be affixed with appropriate labels. The complete specification includes examples of such warning labels. In addition, since magnets have the potential to affect the function of pacemakers and other implanted medical devices, manufacturers should consider adding labels as appropriate.
