Control by the authorised assay office(s)

1.1 The authorised assay office (thereafter referred to as “assay office”) must comply with the conditions and requirements, as stated in paragraph 2 of Article 5 of the Convention, not only at the moment of the notification to the Depositary but at any time of operation thereafter.

1.2 The assay office shall examine whether articles of precious metals, which are presented to it in order to be marked with the Common Control Mark, fulfil the conditions of Annex I to the Convention.

1.3 To examine articles of precious metals, the assay office shall in principle have a competent testing laboratory. The laboratory shall in principle be able to analyse those articles of precious metals, which are to be marked with the Common Control Mark, in line with approved testing methods (see paragraph 3.2 below). An assay office may subcontract testing. The Standing Committee shall define the conditions for the subcontracting of testing. It shall also issue guidelines for the assessment requirements of a testing laboratory.

1.4 To demonstrate its competence, the laboratory shall either be accredited according to ISO standard 17025 or demonstrate an equivalent level of competence.

1.5 An equivalent level of competence is achieved when the assay office operates a management system, which fulfils the main requirements of ISO standard 17025, and successfully participates in the international proficiency testing scheme on precious metals called “Round Robin”. The Round Robin is run by the Standing Committee or another body designated by the Standing Committee. The Standing Committee shall define how an equivalent level of competence shall be achieved and verified. It shall also issue guidelines on Round Robin, including the level of participation and the performance criteria.

1.6 The Standing Committee shall provide further guidance on the requirements mentioned in paragraph 2 of Article 5 of the Convention, notably on the independence of the assay office staff.
