Frequently asked questions

BIS has extended hallmarking requirements to silver jewellery and artefacts. Jewellers selling silver articles are required to get them hallmarked at a BIS-recognized assaying and hallmarking centre to ensure purity compliance.

BIS recognizes sterling silver at 925 fineness and fine silver at 999 fineness. Each article is tested via XRF spectrometry to verify it meets the declared purity standard before receiving the hallmark.

Silver hallmarking is typically completed the same working day or the next working day for standard lots. Larger consignments may require additional time depending on volume.
