Legal Metrology Registration

Legal Metrology applies legal requirements to measurements and measuring instruments to ensure accuracy and public safety. It covers devices such as weighing scales, meters, and balances.

Legal Metrology touches daily life like fuel meters, electricity meters, and packaged weights. It ensures correct billing, safe practices, and protects consumers from errors or fraud in measurement.

Businesses dealing with weights and packaged goods require a Legal Metrology license for lawful operation. It ensures compliance and builds customer trust by guaranteeing accurate measurements.

The Act ensures fairness in trade, protects consumers, and standardizes measurements. It boosts business credibility, lowers risks for consumers, and aligns practices with international standards.

Registration minimizes losses, builds trust with customers, and ensures adherence to packaging and labeling rules. It also reduces risks while promoting fair business practices.

The Department of Consumer Affairs under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution enforces the Act. States may adopt and adapt the model act for local implementation.

Legal Metrology registration applies to manufacturers, importers, and packers. Products under weight/measurement categories may require approvals such as Model Approval, Import License, or Stamping.
