Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Adult Jewelry
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes requirements and test methods for specified elements and for certain mechanical hazards in adult jewelry. It does not purport to cover every conceivable hazard of adult jewelry. It does not cover product performance or quality, except as related to safety. This specification has no requirements for those aspects of adult jewelry that present an inherent and recognized hazard as part of the function of jewelry.
1.2 This specification applies only to adult jewelry, as defined in 3.1.3. Children’s Jewelry, which is defined as jewelry designed or intended primarily for use by children 12 and under, is addressed in another ASTM standard, Specification F2923.

1.3.1 Accessories (for example, handbags, belts),
1.3.2 Apparel (except as described in 3.1.1(q)),
1.3.3 Footwear (except as described in 3.1.1(q)), and
1.3.4 Any other item whose primary purpose is functional (e.g., keys, key chains, or other items not primarily intended to be worn as a personal item of ornamentation).
