Do not let cadmium become a "stumbling block" for jewelry exports

Jewelry industry is one of the pillar industries in Yiwu. According to statistics, this year, Yiwu inspection and Quarantine Bureau jewelry inspection a total of 6909 batches, among which the cadmium content exceeded the batch of unqualified batches of 170 batches.

The content of heavy metal cadmium has always been one of the inspection focuses, and its detection standards are also receiving attention. Some countries have made clear provisions for their content standards. The main reasons for causing unqualified laboratory tests are the following: First, countries have different standards for the detection of cadmium, and export companies have not attracted enough attention. The second is that the raw materials for the jewelry are not strictly controlled. In the production process, inferior raw and auxiliary materials with high content of heavy metals such as cadmium may exist. Third, the surface coating of metal jewelry does not meet the relevant standards, resulting in unqualified jewelry testing.

Therefore, inspection and quarantine departments to remind jewelry companies: First, to pay attention to the jewelry importing countries of the cadmium detection technology laws and regulations and standard terms, timely attention to new trends, at the same time, the company's own production processes to strictly check; second is to standardize the management of jewelry original The source and quality of auxiliary materials should be replaced by cadmium-free materials as much as possible. The third is to strengthen the training of internal personnel, improve the self-inspection and self-control capabilities, and ensure product quality and safety.
