On the occasion of World Standards Day 2025 on 14 October, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) launched a pilot project to digitally capture the weight and photograph of hallmarked jewellery across 25 Assaying and Hallmarking Centres (AHCs). The initiative aims to boost transparency in the hallmarking process by recording each jewellery item’s image and weight directly on the BIS portal.
Under the system, cameras will capture clear images of the jewellery and its unique HUID number, while integrated weighing balances will automatically upload the weight, eliminating manual errors. Consumers can verify the authenticity of hallmarked jewellery by viewing these details on the BIS Care mobile app, ensuring greater transparency and informed buying.
The pilot will run for one month across the selected AHCs before being expanded nationwide.
