Dubai announces precious metal testing services at Gold Souq

The Dubai Municipality has announced that precious metal testing services will be available at the new Gold Souq. The civic authority inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group to provide the service. The acting director of the Dubai Central Laboratory Department, Hind Mahmoud Mahaba, stated that the municipality would provide gold pyrolysis services. "Customers, including gold merchants and individuals, will benefit from the procedures, as a special location will be set aside in the Gold Souq for receiving gold samples — eliminating the need for the customer to transport samples to the Dubai Central Laboratory in Karama," she said. "Customers will be able to get test reports in one working day instead of seven. It will enhance the quality of gold and jewellery trade in Dubai markets." The MoU was signed in the presence of Alia Al Harmoodi, acting CEO of Dubai Municipality's Environment, Health, and Safety Agency, and Muhammed Tawfiq Muhammed Taher Abdullah Al Muhtadi, general manager of the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group.
