Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to all jewellery and its components manufactured, sold, or imported into China.

It is mandatory for all manufacturers and distributors to ensure their products meet these specifications before entering the Chinese market. The standard does not apply to watch cases, straps, and buckles, which are regulated under separate provisions.

Requisitos técnicos

GB 28480-2026 specifies comprehensive safety requirements for jewellery, categorized into mechanical and physical safety and chemical safety. For mechanical safety, the standard mandates that products must not have hazardous sharp edges or points. Children's jewellery must strictly adhere to small parts and escape performance requirements to prevent choking and strangulation hazards. Specific provisions are also set for jewellery containing batteries and magnetic components. Regarding chemical safety, the standard sets strict limits on hazardous elements such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic in various materials including metals, coatings, and leather. It also regulates nickel release rates for items in prolonged contact with the skin. Manufacturers must ensure compliance with new limits on plasticizers, formaldehyde, and short-chain chlorinated paraffins introduced in this revision. The standard additionally outlines marking and labeling requirements. Precious metal jewellery must bear appropriate fineness marks, while children's jewellery requires clear age grading and specific warning labels for hazards like small parts or button batteries. Note that certain chemical requirements may be exempted if the material mass is below specified testing thresholds.

Métodos de ensayo

Testing methods involve evaluating mechanical properties such as small parts, accessibility, and sharp edge/point tests, largely referencing GB 6675.2 (Toy Safety). Chemical testing includes X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy for total hazardous elements, and specific methods for nickel release, formaldehyde, plasticizers, and short-chain chlorinated paraffins. Escape performance for necklaces is tested using a specialized pulley system to ensure release under tension.
