What is the difference between lead and nickel compliant and lead and nickel free?

Hi,
This is my knowledge since I work in a fashion jewelry company.
The state of California has lead and nickel requirements for jewelry in order for the jewelry to be considered safe.
Nickel is not a problem since most jewelry factories in China are nickel-free .
However, California considers jewelry that has less than 600 ppm (parts per million) for lead safe (this is for adult jewelry, for children jewelry it is a lot lower).
If an earring is considered lead/nickel compliant, that means that the earring has some lead/nickel but lower than the threshold.
Lead/nickel free means that they have none.
However, I know that that it is VERY difficult to make completely lead free jewelry if it has metal plating. Many companies put lead free even though they should actually be writing lead compliant.
Just my 2 cents.
