The Importance of Quality Assurance in Gold Products
When investing in precious metals, quality assurance is non-negotiable. Gold must meet exacting purity and weight specifications to retain its value and ensure trust between manufacturers and buyers. Substandard or adulterated gold can significantly impact investment portfolios and personal assets.
In India, where gold holds cultural and financial significance, verifying authenticity is paramount. Whether purchasing jewellery, coins, or bullion, investors need confidence that their gold meets advertised standards without compromise.
SBM Gold’s Commitment to Excellence
SBM Gold maintains stringent quality control measures aligned with internationally recognised standards. Our gold products undergo multiple verification stages to ensure purity, weight accuracy, and structural integrity.
We focus on three core principles:
- Consistency: Uniform purity across all batches and product types
- Transparency: Clear documentation of testing methodologies
- Compliance: Adherence to BIS hallmarking standards and international benchmarks
Stringent Testing Protocols at Every Stage
Our quality assurance process begins at sourcing and continues through final delivery. Each batch undergoes multiple verification steps:
- Supplier verification: Raw materials are tested upon receipt using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) screening
- Melting and alloying: Controlled environment processes with sample testing at each stage
- Final product testing: Each finished item undergoes destructive and non-destructive examination
- Random sampling: Additional verification checks on packed goods before dispatch
Advanced Technology for Accurate Results
SBM Gold employs modern analytical instruments to verify gold content with scientific precision:
- XRF Spectrometers: Non-destructive elemental analysis verifying purity from 99.5% to 99.99%
- Fire assay (cupellation): Traditional destructive testing method considered the gold standard for purity verification
- Ultrasonic thickness gauges: Verification of plating thickness for coated products
- Microscopic inspection: Surface and structural integrity checks under magnification
Our laboratories maintain controlled environments to prevent contamination during testing, with regular calibration of equipment against certified reference materials.
Independent Verification for Trust and Transparency
Beyond internal testing, SBM Gold products undergo third-party verification by recognised assay offices and hallmarking centres. This dual-layer verification ensures:
- Compliance with BIS hallmarking requirements
- Validation of purity claims on jewellery and bullion
- International recognisability for exported products
We maintain complete test records for every product batch, available for client review upon request.
