AnchorCert Analytical is a division of the Birmingham Assay Office which itself was formed in 1773.
AnchorCert Analytical has become one of the UK’s leading test laboratories for the analysis of precious metals and product safety compliance.
The AnchorCert Pro testing method identifies and measures a number of elements including Nickel, Cobalt and Chromium along with others which have been identified as skin sensitizers such as Chromium IV, to ensure they do not cause ACD (Allergic Contact Dermatitis).
This is in addition to the regulatory compliance to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) for Nickel and General Product Safety Regulations for Jewellery from a skin sensitization point of view. No other currently known test method has this distinction.
The AnchorCert Protect logo is your reassurance that our jewellery and watches have passed the AnchorCert Pro test and can be considered kind to skin. From July 2021, you will see the AnchorCert logo featured in the brochure and online.
