Analytical and materials testing Laboratories
Our tasks in the Cendres+Métaux laboratories include the characterizing and testing of new materials, verifying the quality of alloys and materials, establishing the fineness of jewellery alloys, establishing the fineness of waste containing precious metal and investigating complaints.

Our chemists, physicists, metallurgists, sworn precious metal assayers and laboratory technicians work with state-of-the-art systems and comply with internationally recognised standards. The most important procedures have been accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service (http://www.sas.ch/) in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 and are registered under STS 174. In addition, the analytical laboratory is regularly inspected by the Swiss Precious Metals Control authorities.

The accreditation indicates that our competences are recognized by the Accreditation Services. It shows that our laboratories make independent testing decisions, employ competent staff, work with validated methods and are able to trace the tested merchandise back to the test results.

Therefore, we bring a substantial contribution to the application of medical product and precious metal control legislations and can guaranty the conformity of our products and the reliability of our accounting analyses.
