Anchoring the global alliance through dedicated institutional secretariats, each managing a distinct pillar of our constitutional mandate.
Executive & Judicial Axis
Houses the Permanent Executive Secretariat, the Supreme Advisory & Arbitration Committee (OA-COM), and the ADRPS Escrow Restitution Fund Trust Office.
Academic Research & Holotypes
Headquarters of the ICIA Gemstone & Mineral Research Institute (IGMRI), leading 3D Micro-CT tomography archives, spectral baseline research, and holotype curation.
Trade Syndicate & IGSTS Hub
Coordinates the Certified Alliance Business & Commercial Syndicate (CABCS), high-throughput OA-LAB commercial testing, and real-time IGSTS cloud API operations.
Testing laboratories operate under strict tiered instrumentation regimes calibrated annually by IGMRI research fellows.
Apex research institutions operating synchrotron-grade spectroscopy, 3D industrial Micro-CT, and LA-ICP-MS trace analysis. Serves as final appellate testing authority for OA-COM disputes.
Equipped with micro-FTIR polymer screening, confocal Raman spectrometers, and optical 3D surface scanners. Authorized to issue CCGS (4C+1I), MSGS (5D), and RCGS official certificates.
Field stations deployed to major international mineral trade fairs (Tucson, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Munich, Hong Kong) performing on-site rapid FTIR screening and digital twin registrations.
Official contact and telemetry points for sample submission, specimen grading, and blind dispute testing.

Independent laboratories seeking OA-LAB accreditation must satisfy strict statutory instrumentation and personnel standards.
Laboratories must operate calibrated transmission/specular FTIR covering 2800–3200 cm⁻¹, confocal Raman spectroscopy with 532nm/785nm lasers, and multi-view 3D optical profilometers.
All issuing signatories must hold active International Certified Grader (PCAS-ICG) or Laboratory Director (OA-DIR) credentials, maintaining mandatory biennial continuing education credits.
Accredited facilities must participate in closed-book blind testing round-robin audits distributed annually by IGMRI to maintain active cert.icia.uk digital twin minting licenses.
