We are delighted to tell you that after a very long wait voluntary Palladium Hallmarking comes into force on the 22nd of July 2009.
This means that as of 22nd July, you can submit Palladium articles for assaying and hallmarking to one of the three recognised standards, 500, 950 and 999.
Hallmarking of Palladium is voluntary until 31st December 2009 but this is a legally recognised hallmark which can only be struck by an Assay Office in the UK, and it is an independent guarantee of the fineness of the metal.
Palladium will be subject to compulsory hallmarking from January 2010.
