Understanding & Ensuring Compliance Across Our Industry
Published: 25th April 2024
As a member of the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) it is great to see how the organisation is always working towards professional excellence across the industry.
One element of the NAJ's strategy covers the matter of compliance, and in particular, trying to ensure that all jewellers are aware of their responsibility in buying and selling jewellery within our industry, and understanding ever changing legal obligations and running a compliant and successful business. A subject we all know can be very challenging.
Here at Sheffield Assay Office, History, Integrity and Innovation and are the heart of everything we do. Across all our divisions, and the full range of services that we offer, providing an independent assessment of quality and content is key.
We are therefore delighted to see that the NAJ have announced that their Codes of Practice, covering many topics, have now been made available to all jewellery businesses in the UK, irrespective of whether they are a member of the Association or not.
It's certainly very true that we are all constantly striving to ensure consumer protection, and that this is vitally important at every level.
