The trade assayer must have a mark which he strikes on the melt products assayed by him (Art. 173–176).
The mark shall comprise the holder’s name, in full or abbreviated form, framed and accompanied by the word «Assayer». If the trade assayer also holds a melter’s licence (Art. 30 para. 1 of the Act), he may register a combined assayer/melter’s mark.52
For the registration of an assayer’s or assayer/melter’s mark, the same provisions apply as for the registration of a responsibility mark as set out in Section 4.53
Notice of the approved mark shall be given in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce at the same time as the operating licence.
