I don't know much about the US standards, but first I have to inform you
that U.K. is a member of the European Community.
 
Not that this really matters in this respect: the standards vary quite a
lot within the EC. Here in Denmark Silver alloys with a content of at
least 92,5 per cent can/must be stamped with 925, 925S or Sterling,
completely independent of the constitution of the remainder 7,5 per
cent. I hope other Orchid members will fill you in with the respective
local legislation.
 
Kind regards
