Membership categories

Gold refineries applying for the DGD standard can choose one of the following two categories of membership:

Category 1

Members of Category 1 include refineries that are on the LBMA Good Delivery List and whose brands hold the London Good Delivery status. (Former LBMA approved refineries, which were historically on the London Good Delivery List but have been removed for any reason, are NOT part of this category.)

To apply for Dubai Good Delivery status, all refineries are required to complete and submit the appropriate application along with required documents to the Physical Committee.

Upon acceptance of application, Category 1 members can immediately obtain the Dubai Good Delivery status.

Category 2

Members of Category 2 include refineries that are not on the current LBMA Good Delivery List and whose brands do not currently hold the London Good Delivery status.

To apply for Dubai Good Delivery status, all refineries are required to complete and submit the appropriate application along with required documents to the Physical Committee.

Category 2 members will be requested to undergo testing procedures of assessing capability and bars as outlined in the Dubai Good Delivery “Testing Procedures”  document.
