Accessory Analysis: Comprehensive Testing Solutions for Imitation Jewelry, Watch Bands and Buckles Today, the safety of materials used in the production of accessories and imitation jewelry is of great importance in terms of both legal requirements and consumer health. TAREKS analysis laboratory provides a professional service that allows such products to be analyzed in accordance with international standards and KKDİK regulation criteria. We evaluate product safety and compliance with a wide range of comprehensive testing solutions from watch bands to buckles, from imitation jewelry to various accessory materials.

Analysis Details

In accordance with the KKDİK regulation, the main tests carried out for imitation jewelry analysis and accessory safety testing are as follows:

1. Heavy Metal Tests

Imitation jewelry and accessories often come into direct contact with the skin. Therefore, detecting heavy metal components that could be harmful to human health is of critical importance.

Nickel Release Test
The nickel release levels of accessories are measured. The amount of nickel released must remain below a certain limit to prevent allergic reactions.

Cadmium and Lead Analyses
Cadmium and lead are heavy metals frequently encountered in materials used for jewelry and accessory production. TAREKS analysis laboratory measures the levels of these metals with precise instruments to determine whether they meet human health standards.

2. Chemical Substance Analyses

The KKDİK regulation mandates the restriction of certain harmful chemicals in products. Within this scope, the following tests are conducted:

Azo Dyestuff Test
Used particularly in textile-based accessories and metal surface coatings, azo dyestuffs are detected if present. These substances may exhibit toxic effects when in long-term contact.

PAHs Test (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)
The presence of PAHs is analyzed in watch straps and plastic-based jewelry. Because PAHs can potentially cause cancer, strict monitoring is required.

3. Physical and Mechanical Durability Tests

Accessories must be tested not only for chemical safety but also for their lifespan and durability.

Breaking and Tensile Strength
The breaking strength of products like clasps and watch straps is measured to assess whether they are suitable for daily use.

Abrasion Tests
The resistance of the material to friction and other external factors is evaluated.

4. Skin Contact and Biological Safety Tests

Accessories that come into contact with the skin are evaluated for their biological compatibility through dermatological safety tests.

Skin Sensitivity Tests
These tests determine whether the accessories cause skin irritation. They are particularly important for imitation jewelry, watch straps, and clasps.

Toxicity Tests
It is determined whether accessory components contain any toxic substances.

5. Compliance and Certification with TAREKS Analysis Laboratory
