Precious metals
CLM is a benchmark in the contrast and analysis of precious metals (gold, silver and platinum).
Precious metals contrast
According to Spanish legislation, before any object made of precious metals (gold, silver or platinum) can be marketed in our country, they must undergo a contrast test to guarantee their degree of purity. This level of purity is commonly known as the Law of the metal. In our laboratories we carry out the contrast tests, which are compulsory whether the object has been manufactured in Spain or is an imported object.
Precious metals analysis
The best way to determine the value of a piece is to carry out a laboratory analysis of it. The analysis will determine the grade of the metal of which the part is composed, the grade being the proportion by weight of pure metal in the alloy.
