Evaluation of metals
An ISE metal valuation gives you an indication of your negotiations to sell or credit your metal to potential buyers or banks. A metal valuation is the basis of a sale of your goods in addition to the analysis.
We know that other “institutes” sign significantly higher ratings for different metals. But the price of a commodity is not a request that you can buy. For us, the acceptance of documentation stands for the price that is paid for it. Please consider this in advance so that you do not end up in a one-way street during your future business ventures and have to rewrite the entire documentation later.
We do not accept analyzes from external institutes as a basis for an assessment. If you want to commission an evaluation, an analysis from us (ISE) must be available.
Important: A valuation always refers to the smallest unit of a commodity (eg grams, meters, etc.). The price can only be linearly extrapolated in a few cases. In order to determine the price of your entire lot, we are happy to create one for you Metal audit.
To determine a price for a metal, we use a network of mine operators, producers, sellers, brokers and end customers that has grown organically for over 10 years. More on this under "Our way of working"
Please note the following when submitting reviews from ISE.
- Reviews are ALWAYS only valid for 6 months. Metals are subject to price fluctuations.
- Metal product ratings are ALWAYS given in the smallest unit and CANNOT be scaled linearly.
- Please always have the submitted review checked by us, by email or phone.
- Reviews that were issued before 2020 are definitely no longer meaningful.
- There is ALWAYS an ISE analysis number on an ISE assessment.
- An original ISE rating always has an ISE watermark and copy protection.
- If you are unsure, please call or write to us beforehand.
- We store ratings for a maximum of 3 years and can no longer be verified afterwards. If you are presented with an old evaluation, it is no longer meaningful and you should refrain from doing so.
