Standard and marks: The marks, tests and laws behind the words on a label: karat stamps, UV400, ANSI Z80.3, the FTC Jewelry Guides, Prop 65.

A paper is a paper, not a verdict: titles are listed so you can read them, and a study on one fabric or one filter says little about the piece in your hand.

Other standard and marks
Clasp & Lens describes materials from the public record and does not appraise, grade or test pieces; what a listing states is the supplier's statement. If a piece causes a rash, take it off; a reaction that spreads or blisters is a doctor's question, and sunglasses are no substitute for impact-rated eye protection where that is required.
