ISO 11429 Determination of Platinum in Jewellery Alloys Testing
The ISO 11429 standard provides a precise method for determining the platinum content in jewellery alloys, which is critical for ensuring compliance with quality and regulatory standards. This testing service ensures that precious metals are accurately represented, thereby upholding trust within the industry.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to this international standard, employing advanced analytical techniques such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). These methods provide high precision and accuracy, essential for the accurate determination of platinum content.
The testing process involves several key steps. Firstly, a representative sample is taken from the jewellery alloy, ensuring that it accurately represents the composition of the lot or batch being tested. The sample is then carefully prepared according to ISO 11429 guidelines, which may include dissolution in nitric and perchloric acids to ensure complete sample digestion.
Following preparation, the solution is analyzed using ICP-OES or ICP-MS. These instruments are capable of detecting very low levels of platinum, making them ideal for this type of analysis. The results obtained from these analyses are then used to calculate the platinum content within the jewellery alloy according to ISO 11429.
Compliance with this standard ensures that manufacturers can accurately represent the platinum content in their products, which is particularly important for high-value items such as fine jewellery and investment-grade bullion. This accuracy not only protects consumers but also maintains the integrity of the market by ensuring fair trade practices.
The precision of our testing methods allows us to provide reliable results that are repeatable and reproducible. This consistency is crucial in maintaining trust between manufacturers, buyers, and end-users. By adhering strictly to ISO 11429, we ensure that our clients receive accurate and consistent results every time.
In addition to the core testing process, our team can provide additional services such as sample preparation training for clients who wish to perform internal tests or understand the nuances of the standard better. This comprehensive approach ensures that our clients have all the necessary tools and knowledge to meet their testing needs effectively.
Our commitment to quality is further reflected in our use of state-of-the-art equipment, including ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments, which are regularly calibrated and maintained to ensure optimal performance. This dedication to maintaining high standards ensures that we provide accurate and reliable platinum content determinations consistently.
