Mandatory HUID for Silver Jewellery Implements Digital Traceability and Enhances Consumer Trust

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has mandated Hallmarking Unique Identification (HUID) for silver jewellery and artefacts from 1 September 2025. Since the implementation, over 17 lakh silver pieces have been hallmarked with HUID, exhibiting a strong uptake among jewellers and consumers. HUID offers a six-digit alphanumeric code that facilitates digital traceability, assuring purity and curbing counterfeit hallmarking. Purity grades 925 and 800 account for nearly 90% of hallmarked items. Consumers can verify authenticity through the BIS CARE app, which offers detailed information about each silver article. BIS continues to conduct awareness campaigns to ensure a successful rollout of the HUID system.
