Hallmark Centre Licence Services

If a store owner wants to sell ready-made jewellery, the purity and quality of the gold should be checked at a hallmark centre. This is the marking center's or third-party evaluator's BIS Hallmark licensed trademark. Every product in the centre has a label that is stamped and examined for purity. This is done so that if any contradictions develop later, the object may be tracked back to the centre. Jewelry/artefacts are hallmarked in BIS-certified facilities/centres that serve as testing laboratories. These hallmarking facilities, centres, and labs are positioned within city limits or in busy commercial or business buildings close to the jewellery.hubs and markets for manufacturing. The term "assaying" refers to the quantitative chemical analysis of precious metals.
