| In an endeavor to promote awareness for purity standards for precious metal products, MMTC as one of the pioneers has set up the first assaying and hall marking unit at New Delhi for testing the purity of gold and gold articles with the internationally accepted Fire Assay method in operation. This unit has been inspected by experts from the London Assay Office and has been certified by Bureau of Indian Standards. On behalf of Government of India, BIS took the charge and launched the scheme of gold hallmarking in India. BIS recognized MMTC as on of the leading agency for assaying and hallmarking.
