If the article does not comply with the legislation it will fail the Assaying and Hallmarking process and therefore cannot be sold or described as precious metal in the UK.
This course is recommended for anyone in the supply chain, specifically designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, buyers and retailers.
