Description
Plastic belt with rivets and metal buckle.Type/model: EAN Code: 2001031405473; Gr. 120/125; 6310.
Risk
The product poses a risk of allergy due to excessive nickel content in the buckle: 3.3 micrograms/cm2/week whereas the maximum release rate for nickel is set at 0.5 micrograms/cm2/week.
