| Attention Nordstrom Vendors |
Updated: March 5, 2010 Children’s Product Testing Guidelines (Children’s Jewelry, Hair Accessories and Watches) Nordstrom expects all of its business suppliers to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States and those of the respective country of manufacture or exportation. As a Nordstrom supplier, you are expected to review, understand and comply with these laws and regulations. Congress and the Consumer Product Safely Commission are currently discussing what standards may need to be in place for children’s products containing cadmium. Additionally, there is sufficient legislative activity at the federal level, including the introduction of the Children’s Toxic Metals Act, to reasonably believe that a limitation on cadmium (as well as other metals, such as barium and antimony) in children’s products, specifically jewelry, may soon apply to children’s products. Because there is currently no United States standard for cadmium in children’s jewelry, effective as of April 1, 2010, and until a definitive U.S. standard is adopted, Nordstrom requires that all children’s jewelry, hair accessories and watches pass the European Union standard for testing for migration of certain chemicals, including cadmium established under EN71-3. More information on these toy safety regulations can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/toys. Communication was sent to some of our suppliers, this letter can be reviewed under Vendor Communications, see Cadmium Compliance Communication (28 January 2010) Please review carefully the Nordstrom Expense Offset Policies as changes have been made. You can also review recent communication emailed to our vendors regarding these changes on the Vendor Communications page see "Expense Offset Policy Changes (10 September 2009). You will find links to PDF versions of all Supplier Compliance documents on the left hand navigation sidebar. The PDF versions of the manuals may be navigated using the Table of Contents at the front of each document (click on the title or page number to go to the desired section) or the Bookmarks tab (click “Bookmarks” on the top left hand side of the PDF window and click the section title).
