At the upcoming MJSA Expo (April 13-15 in New York City), Skyray XRF will be demonstrating the EDX-2800. this instruemnt performs a variety of jewelry related analysis that is need by retailers, manufactureres, etc. However, it also provides hazardous substance detection; which is growing in importance to teh jewelry industry.
A variety of states are developing legislation that limits the amount of hazardous substances (lead, cadmium, etc) that is found in jewelry. Specifically, children or costume jewelry is being affected. The regulations began with California's Proposition-65 and several other states have passed similar laws. Their is still some debate on what qualifies as childrens jewelry but that is being determined (currently) on a state-by-state basis. The Fashion Jewelry Trade Association has a detailed list on their website.
The instrument that will be exhibited at the MJSA Expo (Skyray XRF EDX-2800) reads well below the parts per million (PPM) levels that the state laws require. While many HS Testing instruments are designed for only that type of test, the EDX-2800 comes with the added bonus of all the other testing operations noted above.
If you happen to be attending the MJSA Expo and would like to review the EDX-2800 System; please visit Skyray XRF at booth 221. Or, contact us to discuss further.
