Evidence-based metal compliance
Compliance starts at source.
Evidence-based metal compliance at the point of manufacture.
Gateway supports manufacturers and UK buyers by introducing evidence-led material controls earlier in the jewellery supply chain. The aim is to identify relevant material risks while they can still be managed at source, rather than after a finished order has completed production and arrived in the UK.
Two ways to discover a problem
Late-stage risk, or evidence at source.
01
Traditional late-stage risk
Manufacture 4–6 weeks
Freight To the UK
UK arrival Order landed
Testing Finished goods
Potential failure Identified after arrival
02
The Gateway approach
Factory Onboarding
Risk assessment Before production
Testing & evidence At source
Manufacture Order produced
Pre-export evidence Before shipping
UK Order arrives
