REACH法规附件XVII第27条中有对镍及其化合物的禁用规定,但与其他项下的绝对量限制不同,该条款下限制的是释放速度。目前,用于测试镍释放速度的方法主要是BS EN 1811:1998+A1:2008 Reference test method for release of nickel from products intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin 和BS EN 12472:2005+A1:2009 Method for the simulation of wear and corrosion for the detection of nickel release from coated items。
