Preciosa
North America
Preciosa cooperates with a number of scientific institutions and research centers to secure and fulfill its defined ecological goals. The benefits of this collaboration are reflected especially in the securing of independent external audits. Based on audit results, the company keeps on developing its production process and technologies and all of its procedures are continually adjusted to attain a higher qualitative level and to always be in accordance with the latest standards and EU requirements.
An excellent example of external audits is the certificate (see below) issued by an independent accreditation laboratory to confirm that the company’s glass fashion jewellery semi-finished products are in line with the terms and conditions set out in North American standard ASTM F 963-07.
Rhinestones (chatons) in 39 colours were selected to represent the complete Preciosa assortment range. Their tests proved that the handling of glass fashion jewellery stones or products containing them does not pose any health or safety risks to users.
