  • I was recommended by a friend to try out Cookson gold, and so I did and what a great find it is too. I've now ordered twice in the space of three weeks, the items were even better than on the website. The delivery is exceptional, the packaging is more than adequate. Thank you Cookson gold, I am never going to buy from anywhere else!!

BS EN1811 has was revised in 2011 and reissued as BS EN1811:2011 and has significantly changed the acceptance criteria for articles to be classified as Nickel compliant.

The revised standard requires that all articles produced for sale in the EU comply with the nickel release requirement. Articles produced for sale outside the EU area are not covered by this regulation but may be subject to other local controls. From 1st March 2013 Cookson Precious Metals Ltd will no longer be able to supply non compliant materials to be used to produce articles for sale in the EU.

Cookson Precious Metals have tested their range of alloys and have withdrawn all 9ct, 10ct and 14ct nickel containing alloys from our standard product range along with all nickel containing post assembly products in 18ct white.

Cookson Precious Metals will continue to offer the concessionary 18ct solders, EWG, MWG and HWG for use in the manufacture of articles, however responsibility for the nickel compliance of the finished article remains with the article designer.

With the exception of the 18ct concessionary solders identified above all products supplied by Cookson Precious Metals are classed as compliant against the requirements of BS EN1811:2011
