Thank you to Sheffield Assay Office for sponsoring tonight’s Senior Cup Semi Final against Stocksbridge Park Steels.

Sheffield Assay Office was one of the first laboratories to be given UKAS accreditation and is proud to have retained that accreditation continuously for 40 years, each year satisfying the stringent demands of the standard. For clients, many of whom must demonstrate due diligence, this commitment to quality and continuous improvement is seen in a concise service, confidentiality and comprehensive reporting.

It is impossible to tell the precious metal content of an item just by looking at it. Gold, silver and platinum and palladium are too soft to use alone for making jewellery, cutlery and other goods. They need to be alloyed with other, baser (and cheaper) metals for manufacturing. To protect the consumer, we test articles to make sure that too much base metal has not been used. At the same time, we ensure the manufacturer’s peace of mind by providing an independent assessment of quality and content

For more than two centuries of history The Sheffield Assay Office has proudly maintained a position of independence and integrity. Today, a reputation for innovation too provides a compelling reason for business and industry across the spectrum to use the services in delivering consumer protection.

Sheffield Assay Office attracts customers from all over the world and the business has evolved over the last two centuries to meet the demands of society and industry.
