This Standard sets out a gravimetric procedure for the determination of gold content in gold alloys. This method is applicable to gold and gold alloys containing more than 99.5% gold and less than 0.05% rhodium and 0.05% tungsten.NOTE: This assay is an intricate procedure and therefore should only be carried out by an analyst who has the experience with the performance characteristics of both the chemistry of the method and the analytical instrument used.
