The Proving Register

The Proving Register tracks Engagements progressing through assay, and reference evaluations that predate the Foundation. Entries here are not Hallmarked. Independence is stated for each — and where an evaluation was performed by the delivery vehicle rather than an independent Assayer, it is marked as such.

The assay offices have always kept trial records — the Trial of the Pyx — distinct from and prior to public hallmarking. The Proving Register is the Pyx. An Engagement is promoted to the production Register only when an independent Assayer strikes the Hallmark.
