Hardware that does not release nickel

These products were tested by a laboratory and given a 'pass- compliant' mark in the final protocol 1 and protocol 2. They can be designated as hygienically safe and do not pose the health risk associated with spontaneous release of nickel.

Note: Persons or animals allergic to nickel may show a reaction even if nickel is not released from a product. However, these products carry a much lower risk of an allergic reaction, in any case.
