The accreditation process

RJC certification is obtained following a complex certification process that consists of several steps and is managed by third parties. This process applies to two standards:

  • Code of Practices (COP): it promotes and identifies responsible corporate practices all along the production chain of precious metals. The COP system mainly guarantees the respect for human rights, workers’ rights and decent work, ethical metal and diamond sourcing, and the respect and protection of environmental policies.
  • Chain of Custody (COC): it supports responsible product traceability in the jewelry industry and, in particular, it deals with issues such as internal management and responsibilities, material control, suitability of recycled and existing materials and of third parties collaborating with companies, supplies from high-risk areas and control over the chain of custody of materials.
