Allergy-Free Assurance : AnchorCert Pro and Protect
The potential for certain metals in metallic components and products to cause Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) in the product user/consumer has long been known. However, assessing the overall risk of metallic components to cause ACD is complex and has traditionally required toxicological expertise to determine overall risk profiles for combinations of individual metals.

About ACD
Many different metals including nickel, cobalt and zinc may be intentionally or unintentionally used in the manufacture of metallic components and products that are destined to be worn near or next to the skin. Increased exposure to certain types and combinations of metals has led to an increase in metal allergies which can result in ACD. Perhaps the most commonly known metal to cause ACD is nickel and, as a result, this metal is often included in a Product Restricted Substance List (PRSL). However, what is often less commonly known, is that combinations of certain metals at concentration levels below those individually restricted on a PRSL have the ability in combination to lead to ACD depending on their exact mix and profile.
