Hallmarking Act

Hallmarking involves the independent testing and marking of articles of precious metal to indicate they conform to legal standards of purity (fineness). These tests are carried out in the UK by Assay Offices in London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh.

Policy responsibility for hallmarking issues passed to NWML in April 2007. Please visit the NWML web site for further information.
