This is useful news for those who buy and sell silver jewellery. Like the 6-digit alphanumeric code of gold i.e. Hallmark Unique Identification Number (HUID), the process of implementing it on silver can also be started. Currently, to implement this, difficulties will have to be overcome in bringing HUID on silver. Actually, at present there are many problems in writing HUID on silver, such as this hallmarking on silver gets easily erased. To overcome this problem, work is going on on many technical aspects.
In contrast to gold, HUID hallmarking on the surface of silver is likely to get spoiled by mixing with air or it may get erased. The problem of HUID embossed on the surface of silver disappearing due to chemical reaction with air is being observed.

HUID used for hallmarking of gold is a standard in which a 6 digit alphanumeric code is seen. Similarly, BIS logo and purity grade are also seen in it, which is the standard of purity of gold.
