BIS Hallmark India — What It Means & Why It Matters
When buying gold jewelry in India, purity is everything. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Hallmark is the official government certification guaranteeing the gold purity of your ring, giving you complete peace of mind.
Reading the Hallmark Symbols
Every genuine BIS Hallmarked gold ring features three distinct laser-engraved symbols on the inner band:
1. **The BIS Logo**: A small triangular mark representing the government standards organization.
2. **Purity Grade**: Indicates the gold content.
- **22K916**: 22 Karat (91.6% pure gold)
- **18K750**: 18 Karat (75.0% pure gold)
- **14K585**: 14 Karat (58.5% pure gold)
3. **HUID Code**: A unique 6-digit alphanumeric tracking number.
What is HUID and How to Verify It
The HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) code is a revolutionary security feature. You can download the **BIS Care App** on your smartphone, enter the 6-digit HUID code from your ring, and instantly view the registration details, including the purity grade, the assaying center, and the manufacturer.
