Children Jewelry testing
We understand that navigating the ever-changing regulatory requirements and proposed chemical standards for jewelry can be overwhelming— so it’s important to have a product safety partner that’s easily accessible, knowledgeable and client focused.
PTS Testing Service laboratories can assist raw material suppliers, manufacturers, importers, licensees, and retailers distributing adult and children’s jewelry in the USA, Europe and/or Canada. We continue to expand our jewelry testing services to keep pace with the ever increasing regulations.
