If positive/inconclusive result was found in composited sample, separate retest of each component will be conducted in order to determine the individual compliance of each component in the sample. 5. Embellishment: button, sequins, zipper, stopper, bugles, beading, rhinestone,..etc. 6. Chromium VI testing with aging is strongly recommended during the bulk skins stage. This will help to identify failures & potential noncompliance on final product. 7. PVC is not allowed in any J. Crew products (all brands) 8. Cellouse Nitrate is not allowed in any J. Crew products (all brands) 9. Jequirity Bean (Rosary Pea) is not allowed in any J.Crew products (all brands) 10.
