Article 47. Hallmarking of Jewelry and other Products Made of Precious Metals and Precious Stones with The Main State Hallmark

The main state hallmark can be applied to the following jewelry and other items made of precious metals and precious stones:

made in the Republic of Uzbekistan;

undergone restoration (repair);

with imprints of assay marks and symbols of assay chambers of foreign countries;

with imprints of hallmarks in the form of a star with a hammer and sickle inside and numbers indicating the hallmark;

with polished and indistinct imprints of hallmarks.

On jewelry and other products made of precious metals and precious stones that have imprints of state assay marks and presented to the Assay Chamber for assaying and hallmarking or confirming the correspondence of the fineness indicated on the product, an imprint of the certificate mark may be applied after a technical examination to determine the authenticity of the state assay hallmark.

In this respect, where the fineness of a jewelry or other product made of precious metals and precious stones does not correspond to the existing imprint of the hallmark, then the imprint of the hallmark shall be clogged by the Assay Chamber, and the products shall be subject to hallmarking with the main state assay hallmark according to the next lower fineness.

If it is not possible to apply the certificate mark and fineness mark together (in one contour) to the main part of a jewelry or other product made of precious metals and precious stones, then an imprint of the certificate mark and an imprint of an additional state hallmark of the corresponding fineness shall be applied in a place accessible for hallmarking next to the imprint of personal hallmark of the jewelry manufacturer.

When hallmarking jewelry and other products made of precious metals and precious stones, such as earrings, cufflinks and other items used in pairs, an imprint of the main state hallmark shall be applied to each such item.

When hallmarking jewelry and other items made of precious metals and precious stones, consisting of soldered and inseparable parts made of one alloy, the imprint of the main state hallmark shall be applied only to the main part of the item.
