Understanding Hallmarking
What is BIS hallmarking?
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark is a government-backed certification of gold purity. In India, hallmarked jewellery carries the BIS logo, the purity grade (such as 22K916) and a unique HUID identification code.
The HUID code
Every hallmarked piece carries a six-character Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number, allowing the piece to be traced and verified.
