Here’s a thread that was created a year ago and just recently started again as Amazon contacted more sellers

You haven’t told us what documents they’re asking for.
Seller_BS5lg2keRs2QO
I assume it’s REACH testing? If so, then yes.
Seller_rTNRowDlBSYuI
Yes it is REACH testing. I use so many different wholesalers on Alibaba it would be impossible to chase them all and some of these items are from long ago. Never heard about this before.
Seller_K8edOfPu9HEmN
Do you have your products hallmarked? If you do then would that not comply as the assay office would be bound to test the metals before hallmarking for proof of the type of metal
Seller_sg54Fq7GfBZzn
Absolutely, as there is the SVCH which is Subjects or Very High Concern and relates to the migration of chemicals particularly metals, which can release toxins into the human body and can be carcinogenic. Its good to know whats in them and the nickel, cadmium etc release rate particularly as they are items that are often worn directly on the skin or in the case of earings through the skin. So REACH testing is a must
Seller_rTNRowDlBSYuI
Well, I have had a reply from one of my manufacturers in China. I asked about the REACH certificate for a top selling item of theirs. They said they don’t have it. They can get it but I have to pay. This company sells 1000s of lines directly on amazon uk usa de all of them and supplies 10,000s of businesses that sell on amazon, they are huge. Interesting huh?
Seller_rTNRowDlBSYuI
I’m putting this here in the hope that it helps others. It’s even more expensive than I thought. The Birmingham Assay Office have been getting asked for this quite a lot just recently as Amazon are contacting jewellery sellers about this. Nickel and lead/cadmium are done in 2 separate tests:
