Hallmark Registration Overview

According to Indian Standard requirements, it certifies the purity of gold products. It has provided protection to buyers of gold and gold-related items for millennia in a variety of nations.

These ratings are assigned after evaluating and testing the gold jewellery item. Jewelry with a hallmark verifies that the metal is pure and meets national and international standards for fineness.

Hallmark consists of five components i.e

  • BIS Label
  • Purity Grade
  • Mark for Jewelers' Identification
  • The hallmarks of the Hallmarking Center, jewellers, and
  • BIS chose the year of marking, which is indicated by a code letter (for example, BIS authorised code letter "A" for the year 2000, "B" for the year 2001, and "C" for the year 2002).
 

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark, a symbol of conformity that is widely accepted by the consumer, is marked using a laser marking machine or punches. This gives the consumer more assurance regarding the purity of the gold jewellery.

In all matters relating to standardisation, certification, and quality, the Bureau of Indian Standards is the nation's top standard body and is involved in the development of technical standards (commonly referred to as Indian Standards), product quality and management system certifications, and customer affairs. Jewelers certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) can have their pieces hallmarked at any of the BIS-recognized Assaying and Hallmarking Centers.

Assaying and hallmarking's primary goal is to safeguard consumers from being taken advantage of by gold of inconsistent quality. Along with increasing consumer satisfaction, hallmarking improves the industry's export competitiveness, which strongly encourages the export of gold jewellery.
