dc.descriptionThis document sets out a certification standard for gold from artisanal and small-scale mining, including associated silver and platinum, to create opportunities for economically disadvantaged miners and their communities. It defines the scheme’s purpose, vision, principles, and scope, specifying that it applies to member-based artisanal miners’ organizations responsible for compliance, and excludes rush situations while supporting organization and formalization. The standard outlines requirements across social, economic, environmental, and labour dimensions, including governance, non-discrimination, gender equality, progressive elimination of child labour, health and safety, and improved environmental management such as mitigating mercury use and supporting ecological restoration. It also includes trading and processing rules covering product description, pricing and premium, contracts, pre-finance, traceability, and product composition, plus a supplement for certain small-scale mining organizations.en
