Jewellery & Jade Identification

Hong Kong Jewellery Industry

Testing equipment and procedures are up to international standards

Hong Kong has always enjoyed the reputation of “Shopping Paradise”. High-end gifts such as jewellery and jadeite are popular among local consumers and overseas tourists. To protect the interests of consumers and maintain the integrity of the industry are therefore of utmost importance.

Hong Kong Accreditation Service under the Innovation and Technology Commission has introduced “HOKLAS” which is an accreditation scheme. Hong Kong Accreditation Service (HKAS) assesses the technical competence and quality system of laboratories according to the International Standard, ISO/IEC 17025, and provides accreditation to competent laboratories. Accredited laboratories may issue endorsed test reports bearing HKAS accreditation symbol for Fei Cui (Jadeite Jade) and diamond after test.
