XRF schematic diagram Screening analysis method of harmful element instruction in jewelry National standard GB/T28021 proposes that atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP) test are used for the determination of harmful elements in jewelry, and a test scheme that can be applied to XRF is provided. The national standard requires that the test article has a variety of products, and such products are in direct contact with human skin. There are five categories of items that are representative. 1: Earrings. 2: Necklaces, bracelets, bracelets, anklets, rings. 3: Watch case, bracelet, buckle. 4: Snaps, buckles, rivets, zippers and metal signage. 5: Jewelry jade, etc.
It can be seen from the above five categories of samples that the first to fourth categories are all made of metal, which can be a precious metal series, a steel series or a coated series. The fifth category can be classified as a non-metallic series.
According to the national standard GB28480, the content of harmful elements in jewelry should be less than or equal to the maximum limit requirements of the corresponding elements in the following table.

According to the national standard GB/T28020, the content of harmful elements in jewelry can be detected by XRF method. After the initial inspection of the X fluorescence spectrometer, we can distinguish between qualified products and unqualified products (that is, products with content lower than or higher than the maximum limit value of 30%), but X fluorescence has a certain application range, it can not test the element valence state, so hexavalent chromium in we test the total chromium content, if the total chromium content does not exceed the standard, then the amount of hexavalent chromium does not exceed the standard, if the total chromium content is determined by XRF to exceed the standard, the quantitative test of hexavalent chromium can be carried out by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Some suspect products that have been screened by XRF (i.e., products whose content fluctuates around the maximum limit and cannot be determined to qualify and fail must be arbitrated by destructive testing spectroscopic instruments ICP and AAS analysis).
In addition, XRF because it is only the total content of the test element, and can not be tested by the amount of dissolution, we can test whether the total amount of elements exceeds the maximum limit of dissolution through XRF, if it exceeds the maximum limit of dissolution, it must be determined by other spectral analysis testing equipment (such as ICP, AAS) whether the dissolution of the element exceeds the maximum limit, so if you want to solve the harmful element detection solution in jewelry in an all-round way, XRF alone can not do it all, but also carry out other analytical tests, The following figure shows the screening preliminary inspection analysis method of XRF detection of harmful elements in jewelry: 200.
