Hallmarking is an essential process that verifies the purity and authenticity of precious metal articles. Registered jewellers must follow specific guidelines when submitting their articles for hallmarking to ensure compliance with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regulations. This guide outlines the steps and requirements for submitting precious metal articles to Assaying & Hallmarking (A&H) centres.
Registered jewellers must submit a request for hallmarking either in writing or through the online portal for each consignment of precious metal articles. The submission must include detailed information about the articles and adhere to the Hallmarking Regulations, 2018. Proper documentation ensures that the hallmarking process is conducted smoothly and efficiently.
