Thousands Of Gold Standard Implementation 14 Years Will Be Canceled Gold Into The Highest Purity Of Gold.

It is understood that the national jewelry Standard Technical Committee has passed the revision of the mandatory national standard "Regulations on the purity of precious metals in jewelry", and the revised "new national standard" will eliminate the standard of "thousands of gold (silver, platinum, palladium)" in jewelry, and make clear that pure gold (full silver, foot platinum and palladium) become the highest purity of precious metal jewelry.

Insiders told reporters that during the 3 / 15 period last year, thousands of gold ornaments sold by a number of well-known gold companies were found to be unqualified, which may be an important fuse for the revision of the GB.

Exergy change

Thousands of gold standards will be abolished in 14 years.

A person in charge of a large gold store in Beijing told reporters that by the end of August this year, the national jewelry Standard Technical Committee and its member enterprises had considered the amendment of the national standard GB11887 "Regulations on the purity and purity of precious metals" in Beijing, and finally passed the high vote. The revised edition deleted the "pure gold", "thousand foot platinum", "thousand foot palladium" and "thousand foot silver" purity methods and their related contents, stipulating that the pure gold (platinum, palladium, silver) is the highest purity of the standard GB11887 jewelry products (not for investment gold bars).

This means that thousands of gold standards will be abolished after entering the national standard in 14 years.

"The official revision of the GB has not yet been published and is expected to be promulgated in December this year."

These people told reporters that even if formally promulgated, it is expected to give enterprises half a year to the market buffer period.

It is understood that in 1989, the national standard GB11887-1989 "precious metal jewelry purity naming method" was formulated to fill up the domestic jewelry industry, there is no relevant standard blank, and has become the only mandatory national standard of jewelry industry in China.

Since then, in order to meet the needs and development of the market, this standard has been revised 4 times in 2000, 2002, 2008 and 2012. This is the fifth revision.

Before the 2000 version of the GB issued, China's highest purity of gold jewelry was named "full gold", that is, the gold content is not less than 990 per thousand, often referred to as "two 9". In 2000, the national standard revised the gold content of not less than 999 per thousand (often referred to as "three 9") jewelry called "thousand feet gold", which is the highest purity of gold jewelry.

Then, in 2008, the purity of silver, platinum and palladium jewelry was increased. The purity of silver and its alloys, platinum and its alloys increased by 999 per thousand, and the purity of palladium and its alloys increased by 990 and 999.

Reason why

Gold content is too high, jewelry styles suffer greatly.

Reporters learned from a number of gold stores that at present, consumers are more likely to buy gold ornaments to purchase more pure gold.

However, the GB revision will abolish the naming of the purity of thousands of gold and stipulate that pure gold is the highest purity of gold jewelry. What is the reason for this?

According to the National Standardization Management Committee's explanation, as jewelry, the positioning of gold jewelry is still providing decorative function. Excessive gold content jewelry has the weakness of low hardness, soft texture and easy to deform in wearing. At the same time, in order to ensure the content reaches the requirements, the flux can not be used in the production process, so that the style of the product is greatly restricted, and the function of decoration is suppressed.

The product with a content of 990 per thousand is not only different from the product with higher content, but also can be used in production.

It is reported that thousands of gold jewelry raw materials generally choose gold content of 999.9 per thousand GB 1, only 999 per thousand thousand gold is 0.9 per thousand.

"If you make a 10 gram weight,

It can be molded directly through grinding tools, which can reach 999 per thousand standard.

A gold store official told reporters, but if it is a flower shaped ring, it can not be solved with the mold, it is necessary to use the flux to weld the flowers on the ring ring, while the gold color of the flux is generally low, even if the use of 990 per thousand solder, it will also lower the gold purity of the whole jewelry.

The relevant director of the National Standardization Management Committee stressed that thousands of gold and pure gold, as gold purity, are only a name of the purity of precious metals in a certain content range, and there are no advantages and disadvantages.

If there are thousands of gold, there will be ten thousand gold, over ten thousand gold, one hundred thousand gold and so on.

Though their gold content is very small, they may be exaggerated and misleading consumption.

Because most consumers can't distinguish the difference between thousands of gold and ten thousand gold, at the same time, the complicated naming methods in the market make consumers understand difficulties and have no choice.

"Products with a gold content of more than 990 per thousand are named" pure gold, which can effectively eliminate these phenomena ".

Dispute over

Market demand should not be banned.

"In fact, there are two different voices in the industry.

An insider told reporters that before the resolution was passed in August this year, many meetings had been held in the industry, and many experts were arguing about it. The market representatives thought that they should ban thousands of gold coins, while technical representatives opposed it.

It is reported that the technical representatives think that the current demand for consumers, and production enterprises can technically achieve this requirement.

The head of a retail company even believes that the elimination of thousands of gold titles is a retrogression of the national standard.

However, it is understood that at the resolution meeting in August this year, only 1 votes were voted against.

"The revision of standards has taken full account of the attitudes and views of the two schools."

The industry insiders told reporters that in the future, the labels for the production and sale of jewellery products in addition to the word "foot gold" can be clearly marked, and the word "purity" can be added to the actual gold content of the product, such as "purity 990" and "purity 999", so that consumers can choose consumption according to their own needs.
