A. We confirm that all Timepiece products imported by Casio Electronics Co Ltd into the UK are fully compliant with the current EU legislation regarding Nickel content and release, as covered by EU Directive 94/27/EC.
However, the legislation does not require items to be 100% Nickel-free, and we do not make this claim in respect of any of our Watches. Therefore, it remains a remote possibility that a consumer with a particularly sensitive allergy MAY experience some form of reaction to prolonged contact with a watch product.
In terms of the material content, we have carried our random testing using the services of the Birmingham Assay Office Technical Services Dept. and our products exhibit a level of release of fewer than 0.1 micrograms of nickel per square centimeter of the item per week, which is well within the limit as defined by the relevant regulation.
