Screening tests for nickel release from alloys and coatings in items that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This document presents a screening procedure, based primarily on the use of dimethylglyoxime, for the detection of nickel release from items that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. The tests provide qualitative, not quantitative, results.
