Hallmarking on Precious Metals

Hallmarking Act 1973

Guaranteeing Quality

Protecting Consumers

In Britain, Hallmarking has a long history, dating back 700 years and representing the earliest form of consumer protection.

A Hallmark means that the article has been independently tested by an Assay Office and guarantees that it conforms to a specified legal standard of purity. This is called the fineness of the metal and the precious metal content is expressed as a millesimal number. For example, the number 999 means that the metal is 99.9 percent pure.

Unless specifically exempted, all gold, silver and platinum articles offered for sale must be Hallmarked.

The Hallmarking Act permits other European Economic Area Hallmarks and standards of fineness.
