J-CLUB SOCIAL AND PRODUCT COMPLIANT
The demand for sustainable accessories is increasing, along with European consumer awareness of social, environmental and economic issues in the sector. Corporate Responsibility in the jewellery sector is changing rapidly with the integration of new standards and requirements.
Furthermore, there are stringent regulations within the EU to protect the consumers from dangerous products. All products (textile and non-textile) that are imported or traded in Europe must comply with European Legislation on Environmental and Chemical compliance. To avoid allergic reactions, heavy metals like Cadmium, Nickel and Lead may not be used in jewellery.
Social and environmental compliance has been an important focus point since the foundation of our company. Over the years, we have placed a growing importance on the development of a sustainable supply chain. As producer J-Club is accountable for product quality and safety, and as a result J-Club has many responsibilities.
We place your customer and quality first in everything we do. This way we make sure the products they buy are not only sparkling, but above all safe and produced in line with their standards.

SUBSTANCES OF VERY HIGH CONCERN (SVHC)
The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has current and future substances identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). Once a substance is added to the SVHC Candidate List, the EU REACH Regulation imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present. Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles (products) are required to notify their customers of the presence of any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product. Our products do not contain any SVHC substances that exceed the 0,1% by weight. All our suppliers signed declarations that state they will not use these substances and random sample checks are done to ensure the absence of substances marked on the SVHC list.
