Authorities in Syria are continuing efforts to organize the precious metals market, with a particular focus on gold control, quality standards, and strengthening confidence in domestic production.

These measures are intended to protect consumers and reduce the circulation of substandard or non-compliant products.

Supervision and licensing remain a priority

Official information indicates that the relevant authorities are monitoring commercial and industrial licensing tied to the gold and silver sector, while also regulating activities related to gemstones.

Gold purity checks and official Syrian stamping

Gold products undergo testing and calibration to verify purity and manufacturing quality. Once the standards are met, the items are stamped with the official Syrian hallmark.

If any irregularity is found in purity or workmanship, the necessary measures are taken and the product is corrected in line with approved standards.

Market inspections target violations

Monitoring also extends to jewelry shops and market outlets to ensure there is no gold that falls outside Syrian standards and no unauthorized or smuggled products in circulation.

In this context, officials emphasize the importance of all gold products carrying the official hallmark.

Approved gold purities in the Syrian market

The currently recognized gold purities in Syria include 12, 14, 18, 21, and 23.8 carats. Syrian gold is also described as having a strong reputation for quality and precision.

Institutional role of the sector has expanded

Authorities say the strengthened institutional framework for managing precious metals is designed to regulate the sector more effectively and reinforce its role in the national economy.
