Changes to jewelry labeling rules are being prepared

Jewelry products have their own specifics in the field of mandatory labeling . to such a product , and applying an identification code directly to the product requires special equipment.

In this article we will tell you which jewelry items are subject to mandatory labeling , what equipment will be needed when working with this group of products , and by what time market participants need to prepare.

Dates for introducing jewelry labeling

The government planned to make labeling of jewelry mandatory 2021 . It was assumed that from January 1 there would be a ban on the import and production of jewelry without the possibility of identification. And they wanted to ban the sale of unlabeled products from July 1. However, representatives of small businesses did not have time to prepare and the deadline was changed.

On March 1, 2021, marking of jewelry was launched . Companies could take part in the experiment voluntarily. It was enough to register in the GIIS DMDK and register for special registration with the Federal Assay Office.

On April 1 , 2021, market participants were allowed to try out technological solutions for applying identifying marks directly to products .

From March 1, 2022, labeling of jewelry will become mandatory and will take place in the planned two stages. The presence of DataMatrix code will become mandatory for imports and manufacturers. Participants in the turnover will enter all transactions carried out with jewelry into the GIIS DMDK system, namely:

• put products into circulation;
• transfer ownership rights;
• send and move goods to warehouses or points of sale;
• remove products from circulation after sale to the final consumer.

From March 1, 2023, the import and sale of jewelry without a physical mark will be prohibited, but storing unmarked products in a warehouse will be permissible.

From March 1, 2024, it will be prohibited to sell and store jewelry without identification marks.

Equipment for marking jewelry

To work with Data Matrix placed on labels and the surface of jewelry, you need special equipment:

• Data collection terminal - helps to carry out inventory, “remove” balances, place goods, receive, transfer them and perform any other operations with marked jewelry products.
• Online cash register with a fiscal drive - allows you to sell jewelry to the end consumer in accordance with legal regulations, transfer information to the fiscal data operator and the state system.
• 2D barcode scanner - reads identifiers from tags and surfaces of products, for example, when they are sold in a retail store.
• Printer - for printing mandatory unique codes on jewelry and stone tags.

For physical marking, participants in the jewelry trade do not need to purchase equipment. The code will be applied to the surface of the commodity item by the State Assay Office.

In addition to equipment for working with mandatory two-dimensional barcodes, you need programs: “merchandise accounting” and automation software, for example, DataMobile. We'll tell you more about it.

How does jewelry labeling work in 2021?

With the help of mandatory labeling, you can track the entire path of products from the manufacturer to the end consumer. A special identification code allows you to obtain information about the movement of jewelry goods in several stages.

For jewelry, marking code is provided not by the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies, but by Goznak. Accordingly, participants in turnover use the GIIS DMDK system instead of “ Honest ZNAK ”.

The procedure for working with marked goods is as follows:

• suppliers and importers order markings from Goznak;
• the provided identification codes are applied to jewelry and special tags;
• participants in turnover register warehouse movements and transfer of property rights in the GIIS DMDK ;
• When selling to the final buyer, the seller scans the code at the checkout. After this operation, the product and identification code go out of circulation.

These measures will eliminate the sale of counterfeit and low-quality goods and fair among entrepreneurs .

What changes are being made to the labeling rules?

A draft government decree has been published on the portal of draft regulations, which amends the rules of operation of the state integrated information system for the circulation of precious metals and precious stones (GIIS DMDK).

GIIS DMDK was created to ensure traceability of precious metals, precious stones and products made from them. The rules for working with GIIS DMDK were approved by government decree No. 270 of 02/26/2021.

According to the project, from September 1, 2021 :

• Testing, analysis and stamping of jewelry with the state hallmark will be carried out only if information about these products is available in the State Informational Information System of the DMDK.
• When importing or exporting precious metals to countries not participating in the Eurasian Economic Union, passing state control is possible only if information about these products is reflected in the GIIS DMDK.
• In order to participate in special accounting operations with precious metals and precious stones (setting up, withdrawing, making changes), organizations and individual entrepreneurs must re-register paper special accounting cards in the state control system.

Branding of manufactured and imported products made of precious metals with the state mark is carried out in accordance with Law No. 41-FZ of March 26, 1998 “On Precious Metals and Precious Stones”. The presence of an assay mark (hallmark) on jewelry is mandatory.

All organizations and entrepreneurs involved in the extraction and processing of precious metals and stones, as well as the sale of products made from them, are placed on special records. Special accounting is carried out by the State Assay Supervision Inspectorate of the Russian Federation. When registering for a special account, a registration certificate is issued and accompanied by a special registration card, which will now need to be re-registered in the GIIS DMDK.

Which jewelry items are subject to labeling?

Gold , precious stones should be marked , namely:

• gold and platinum jewelry ;
• gold coins ;
• cut and rough diamonds;
• diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies;
• platinum and palladium powder.

Silver and silver goods , as well as products whose weight does not exceed three grams, are exempt from mandatory marking

What is GIIS DMDK and how does it work

GIIS DMDK is a state information system (GIS) that controls the circulation of precious metals and precious stones and jewelry . Participants in this market interact in GIS with each other and with government regulatory authorities.

GIIS DMDK contains information about jewelry , their description and identification codes. If necessary, the system can generate a statistical or reference report or obtain a reconciliation report upon request.

To interact, you need to register in your personal account at GIIS DMDK . rule and user manual can be viewed on the official website of the system in the “How to connect” section.

What you need to work with jewelry labeling in 2021

The process of preparing work with marking consists of several steps:

1. Purchase of an electronic digital signature ( EDS) with an enhanced qualified security key certificate.
2. Ordering and receiving a certificate of no debt from the tax service.
3. Registration of a personal account on the GIIS DMDK website.
4. Preparing the necessary equipment:
5. cash registers with software adapted for labeling ;
6. scanners for reading marking codes;
7. printer for printing labels.
8. Joining the Association of Automatic Identification UNISKAN/GS1 RUS.
9. Conclusion of an agreement with Goznak for the provision of DataMatrix codes.

buy an enhanced qualified digital signature only at a certification center accredited by the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation. TC "Kaluga Astral" is included in the list of accredited organizations and has all the necessary licenses to issue the "GIIS DMDK" for the products "Astral-ET" and "1C-ETP". These signatures make electronic documents legally significant and allow you to interact with counterparties and government agencies.

Labeling work at different stages of circulation

Participants in the jewelry and precious metals market perform various actions with markings characteristic of the type of activity of the enterprise.

Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Mining companies:

• form production batches;
• send a request to Goznak, receive codes and label each package;
• labeled raw materials are shipped.

Raw materials are shipped to refineries , enterprises with which a toll agreement has been concluded, or to product . In the latter case, property rights are transferred.

Manufacturers:

• receive finished raw materials;
• create blanks for the production of jewelry ;
• send them to the Federal Assay Office (FAP) to identify compliance;
• produce jewelry ;
• send finished goods to the FPP for approval;
• order markings and apply them to labels.

When registering a product in GIIS DMDK, they provide information about the batch of raw materials from which the product .

Jewelry processors and manufacturers :

• receive the marked goods;
• manufacture products in compliance with requirements;
• send it to identify correspondence in the FPP;
• order labeling for each unit of goods;
• place markings on tags and packages.

Refineries : _

• purify precious metal from impurities;
• The received products are sent to the owner.

The owner confirms the fact of practical receipt in the GIIS DMDK.

Wholesale customers:

• register the fact of receipt of products ;
• distribute goods to retail outlets.

Retail Stores:

• accept finished labeled products into the jewelry store;
• record the transfer of ownership rights in the GIS;
• remove the product from circulation by scanning the markings at the checkout when selling to the end consumer.

The online cash register sends information about the sale to the fiscal data operator. From there, the data is transferred to the information system for accounting for precious metals and stones .

You can purchase online cash registers, printers, 2D scanners, label printers and other additional equipment for working with labeled goods in our online store. In addition, the buyer will find in the catalog ready-made solutions for his business and technical support services.

Pawnshops

Submit an application to receive DataMatrix codes and, upon receipt, mark the products .

Testing and branding

In the Russian Federation, jewelry and other products made of precious metals of domestic and foreign production are subject to testing and hallmarking with the state hallmark.

A state fee is paid for carrying out actions during the implementation of federal state assay supervision. The state duty for performing assay operations, established in the Russian Federation, is one of the lowest in comparison with the duties in force in foreign countries with a mandatory hallmarking system. The fee scheme is quite balanced, since there is a convenient gradation based on the weight of the products, which affects the amount of fee per product. In 2021, the receipt of state duty decreased by 4.42% than in 2021, which is associated with a decrease in the number of gold and silver products presented for testing and branding, as well as a decrease in the amount of state duty charged for inserts in accordance with Article 333.32 of the Tax Code Russian Federation.

In the Russian Federation, jewelry and other products made of precious metals that go on sale are subject to testing and stamping with the state hallmark (Article 12.1, 41-FZ).

Jewelry can be domestically produced, as well as imported into the territory of the Russian Federation from countries that are not members of the Eurasian Economic Union, and moved into the territory of the Russian Federation from countries that are members of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Jewelry made of precious metals without an imprint (Article 12.1, 41-FZ) of the state hallmark may be on sale in the following cases:

- if these are domestically produced silver products, the hallmarking of which is carried out on a voluntary basis;

- if these are watch industry products imported into the Russian Federation and bearing imprints of the official mark of the Swiss Confederation.

Testing, analysis and hallmarking of jewelry and other products made of precious metals is carried out by territorial bodies (Order of the Ministry of Finance 47n) (divisions of territorial bodies) of the Federal Assay Chamber.

The territorial body (divisions of territorial bodies) of the Federal Assay Chamber affixing an impression of the state hallmark on products made of precious metals:

- guarantees that he has checked the content of precious metals in products made from precious metals;

— confirms the compliance of the actual sample with the sample specified in the imprint of the legally established sample standard;

The following standards are established for jewelry in Russia (PP 394):

· gold - 375, 500, 583, 585, 750, 875, 916, 958, 999

· silver —800, 830, 875, 925, 960, 999

· platinum – 585, 850, 900, 950

palladium - 500, 850

Products made from gold alloys below 375 standard, as well as silver products below 800 standard, platinum products below 585 standard, palladium products below 500 standard are not jewelry (41-FZ) and are not subject to state hallmarking, cannot be sold as jewelry and other products made of precious metal (the state does not guarantee the content of precious metals in them).

Jewelry made from 583-karat gold can be made upon orders from individuals only from 583-karat gold products that they own. Jewelry of 583 hallmark was made earlier, however, products of this standard are in use by individuals and if it is necessary to repair or manufacture a new piece of jewelry from an existing alloy of gold of 583 hallmark, branding with 583 hallmark will be carried out.

State hallmark

- a sign of state control carried out in the interests of the buyer over the compliance of the content of precious metals in jewelry and other products with one of the standards established in the Russian Federation and imposed on such products under the rights of a state monopoly.

The presence of an imprint of the state hallmark on a product means that the product has a hallmark no lower than that indicated in the stamp.

The hallmark can be main or additional

.
The main mark
includes the following elements:

- identification mark - a sign of state affiliation with an assay mark, currently this is a female head in a kokoshnik in profile, turned to the right;

— code of the territorial body (division of the territorial body) of the Federal Assay Office, which hallmarked the product;

- a hallmark indicating the number of parts by mass of a precious metal in a thousand parts by mass of an alloy.

An example of the main hallmarks for branding products made of gold, silver, platinum and palladium:

— in the form of a spatula for branding gold items;

- in the form of a rectangle with convex opposite horizontal sides for branding silver products:

- in the form of a rectangle with cut corners for branding platinum products;

— truncated oval shape for branding palladium products;

Additional mark

contains a sample mark. An additional hallmark is used when hallmarking jewelry and other products in combination with one of the hallmarks. An additional hallmark may have an independent meaning when marking:

products that have an area insufficient in size to affix the main hallmark letter B or the identification mark letter A in combination with an additional hallmark letter D;

parts of jewelry and other products that are secondary and (or) additional for their intended purpose.

An example of additional stamps for branding products made of gold, silver, platinum and palladium:

— in the form of a rectangle for branding gold items;

- in the form of a rectangle with convex opposite horizontal sides for branding silver products;

— in the form of a rectangle with cut corners for branding platinum products;

— in the form of a circle for marking palladium products.

By what methods can an imprint be made on jewelry?

— Mechanical: the stamp imprint is applied to the product by impact using a special tool using stamping machines.

— Laser: the stamp imprint is applied with a laser machine using a stamp mask or using a scanner method.

— Electro-spark: the stamp imprint is applied by a spark discharge using a stamp-electrode and a stamping machine. The electrospark method of affixing the state hallmark is being withdrawn from use and is being replaced by a more progressive method - the laser method.

The choice of branding method is carried out by the territorial body (division of the territorial body) of the Federal Assay Office and depends on the degree of readiness of the product, technological features, etc.

What is the procedure (PP 394) for presenting jewelry for testing, analysis and branding?

— domestically produced jewelry, including after repair (restoration)

- are presented by their manufacturers to the territorial body (Order of the Ministry of Finance dated March 30, 2020 No. 47n) of the Federal Assay Office, in the area of ​​​​operation (p. 394) of which they are located. The products must have imprints of the registered names of the manufacturers.

Upon initial presentation of the products, a copy of the notice of special registration of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur carrying out transactions with precious metals and precious stones is presented;

— jewelry imported into the territory of the Russian Federation

, are presented by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs who imported the specified products to any territorial body of the Federal Assay Office.

Jewelry is presented regardless of the presence of name stamps and foreign-made stamps on it.

An identification document is presented.

Jewelry is presented to the territorial bodies of the Federal Assay Office according to applications in the established forms.

A little history: chronology of hallmarks

From January 1, 1899 for branding

for gold and silver products, a stamp of the established pattern was introduced, the elements of which were an identification sign in the form of a female head in a kokoshnik, turned to the left; the initials of the manager of the assay district and a sample indicating the number of precious metal spools in the alloy.

Since 1908

the elements of the brand are: an identification sign in the form of a female head in a kokoshnik, turned to the right; code of the assay district and sample indicating the number of precious metal spools in the alloy.

June 1, 1958

the elements of the brand are: an identification badge with the hammer and sickle emblem on the background of a five-pointed star; inspection code and sample size specified in the metric system.

Since
1994,
hallmarks have been introduced and are currently in effect. The elements of the mark are: an identification sign in the form of a female head in a kokoshnik, turned to the right; inspection code and sample size specified in the metric system.

What is the amount of the state duty for carrying out work on sampling, analysis and branding of jewelry.

For carrying out work on sampling, analysis and branding of jewelery products, a state duty is charged in the amounts established by Government Decree No. 65 dated 03.02.2007

How to mark jewelry

Two hallmarks are applied to jewelry The first is fineness, which means the amount of base noble metal content. The second is a print with encoded information about the manufacturer, the date of manufacture of the product and the territorial inspection to which the manufacturer belongs.

On March 1 , 2022, jewelry products will be marked with an additional tag with a Data Matrix code and identification number.

And from March 1, 2023, the Data Matrix code will look like a nanotag. The new imprint will be placed on each individual piece and precious insert of the jewelry and will not be visible to the buyer. The size of such a mark will be 0.8 mm2. Entrepreneurs are freed from purchasing expensive equipment. Responsibility for applying nanoengraving rests with the FPP. The department will put marks on jewelry along with the hallmark.

Important Details

There are three ways to apply impressions:

• impact - applied mechanically to the stamp matrix;
• electric spark - applied with special equipment, the contour is not completed;
• laser - applying an imprint using laser engraving.

In Russia, the metric system of gold and silver samples has been adopted. The fineness of the alloy determines its value - the more precious metal, the more expensive. The remaining components (copper, zinc, nickel) are used to give the alloy strength and wear resistance, as well as some color. The color of the alloy does not depend on the standard: for example, 585 gold can be red, yellow, white and other colors, depending on the combination of alloys used.

The law does not require the marking of jewelry weighing up to three grams. Therefore, if you suspect that you have been sold a counterfeit item due to the lack of a stamp, first weigh the jewelry.
