Decree of the Federal Council Concerning Stamping of Platinum in Switzerland

Considering the request of the Syndicate of Swiss Manufacturers of Gold Watch Cases and the favorable report of the Swiss Chamber of Horology and of the majority of the parties interested, the Swiss Federal Council, in order to enable the manufacturers of articles of platinum to provide their products with a Federal guarantee stamp, such as is in use for works of gold and silver, has issued the following announcement as of Feb. 10:

DECREES

Article I.—Objects of Platinum (watch cases. jewelry, ornaments, etc.), can be provided, upon the request of the manufacturer, the seller or buyer, with the Federal guarantee stamp as per Article II. below.

Article II.—The official stamp for the control of works of platinum is as follows:

Article III.—The minimum standard required for the works of platinum, officially controlled, is 0.950 fine. When determining the fineness the iridium is assimilated with the platinum.

The indication of the fineness on the articles of platinum submitted to stamping is not obligatory. The objects of the required standard may als0 bear the designation ‘‘platine,’’ or ‘‘platine garanti,” or any other similar one, with or without the indication ‘*0.950.”

Article IV.—The fees for stamping platinum goods are as follows:(a) For watch cases of any kind, open face or hunting, 50 centimes apiece: (b) for articles of bijouterie, jewelry, etc., up to 10 grammes each, 25 centimes; 10 grammes and over, 50 centimes.

Article V.—Mixed articles, that is to say, partly of gold and partly of platinum, are also admitted to stamping. The platinum entering into the composition of the object will only be stamped at the request of the party interested. The fee is the same as that demanded for the stamping of works entirely of platinum.

Article VI.—The present decree, which will be inserted in the ‘‘Recueil Official des Lois’ (Official Bulletin of Laws), will take effect on March 1, 1914. The Federal Bureau of Materials of Gold and Silver is charged with its execution.

In the name of the Swiss Federal Council. The President of the Confederation: HOFFMANN.
The Chancellor of the Confederation: SCCHLATZMANN.
Berne, Feb. 10, 1914.
