This achievement marks the X-RAY facility as the first of its kind in Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East specialized in the inspection and analysis of gold. The lab is crucial for analyzing gold jewelry and determining its karats/fineness, ensuring compliance with legal, calibration, and quality control standards, and analyzing sensitive samples where traditional inspection risks damage.
Dr. Elhamahmy stated that the accreditation represents a qualitative
leap in Egypt's gold inspection and analysis system, reflecting significant
development in the Authority's technical infrastructure.
The Hallmarking and Weights Authority is committed to the
Ministry of Supply's vision of supporting institutional development and raising
the efficiency of technical laboratories to ensure the highest levels of
accuracy and quality.
Dr. Elhamahmy affirmed that this international recognition will enhance confidence in the Egyptian gold market and guarantee the quality of jewelry for consumers. The Authority's efforts continue toward developing the hallmarking and analysis system in line with international standards.
