Shall have no accessible, potentially hazardous sharp edges before and after appropriate use and abuse testing. Shall have no accessible, potentially hazardous sharp points before and after appropriate use and abuse testing. Items intended for children 48 to 96 months (4-8 years) of age may contain accessible, potentially hazardous functional sharp points but are required to carry safety labeling. Functional sharp points are expressly prohibited in items intended for children under 48 months (4 years) of age. Any projection, or assembly that a child can grasp with at least the thumb and forefinger or the teeth shall be subject to this test. The tension test shall be performed on the same components subjected to the torque test described in torque test for kids. Tensile force 15 lbs. shall be applied evenly, within a period of 10 sec, parallel to the major axis of the test component. No detached, breakage or damage was found. Any projection, or assembly that a child can grasp with at least the thumb and forefinger or the teeth shall be subject to this test. 4 in.lbf for 10 Sec. 180 at clockwise and counter clockwise directions.

5 Additional Tests For J.Crew, Crewcuts & Madewell start from FA15 (Exclude Outlet) labeling EU: Latex EU: SVHC Declaration (If vendor cannot provide report / document, test will be conducted on request *) Physical Performance Small parts (after Tension test) * (for Crewcuts up to 14 years only) Small parts (for all trims largest dimension <3mm & all sequins) * (for Crewcuts up to 14 years only) Pom-Poms and Tassels (for Crewcuts - all ages) Citation: Regulation 1907/206, Article 56 (1) BS 7907 Annex B BS 7907 Annex C - durawash BS 7907 Section If the item contains any natural rubber latex, the following warning must be prominently displayed and visible at the point of sale: "WARNING. Contains latex" or similar wording with the same meaning. Alternatively, a statement should be issued to declare that no latex has been used in the item. A declaration from the manufacturer that no substances of very high concern (SVHC) are present in the item at >0.1% (w/w) needs to be available. Sequins are exempt from tension testing but require passing results to wash testing Largest dimension >6 mm : Min. 70N; Largest dimension >3 mm but 6 mm : Min. 50N; zipper - single stringer slider retention : Min. 60N Small parts should be failed regardless of age of sample submitted. all trims <3mm & sequins: must pass to wash test Satisfactory (Pass) : no component(s) has come off. Small parts should be failed regardless of age of sample submitted. NOTE: All Dry Clean label for Crewcuts will test Durawash in 40 C and tumble dry low (<60 C). Pom-poms and tassels constructed from cut lengths of yarn should not be used on garments for children aged under 36 months owing to the potential for fibres and yarns to be easily removed. Azo Dye Analysis #*^ (Test at all color fabric except white and PFD textile fabric) Flame Retardants (Per REACH Annex XVII) #* (100% Silk fabrication with fabric weight less than 20.3 momme or 2.6 oz/yd²) Chromium VI (No aging)*# - Leather only/all colorways (vegetable-tanned exempt): *This testing will be waived if a passing test report is received on bulk skins (with aging) or leather trim components (no aging). Cadmium *^# (Test at Plastic item/ All surface coatings) Textile method: BS EN Leather method: EN ISO Lab In-house method EN ISO Plastic item: BS EN 1122 All surface coatings: Lab In-house method <30 mg/kg Tris (2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate : Not Detected Tris(aziridinyl)phosphinoxide : Not Detected Polybrominatedbiphenyls (PBB) : Not Detected Pentabromodipheny ether (PentaBDE) : <0.1% Octabromodipheny ether (OctaBDE) : <0.1% max. 3 mg/kg Coating : < or = 1,000 mg/kg Others : < or = 100 mg/kg Note: 1. Chromium VI testing with aging is strongly recommended during the bulk skins stage. This will help to identify failures & potential non-compliance on final product. Testing Chromium VI on final product (no aging) will be waived if passing results are received on bulk skins (with aging) or leather trim components (no aging) as applicable. Aging condition - Temp : 80ºC; Humidity : < 5%; Duration: 24 hours 2. * = Additional cost 3. # = Additional color package 4. Lining tests : additional color package + fiber content + (AZO dye test except Outlet) 5. ^ = Max. 3 combine to 1 at same material. If positive/inconclusive result was found in composed sample. We will automatically separate retest of each component in order to determine the individual compliance of each component in the sample.
