| 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)
