Overview
Legal Metrology Act Registration is a mandatory compliance for businesses involved in manufacturing, importing, packing, selling, repairing or dealing with weights and measures in India. The Legal Metrology Act, 2009 regulates standards of weights and measures and ensures accuracy and transparency in trade and commerce. The objective of this law is to protect consumers from unfair trade practices related to quantity, weight and measurement.
Any business that manufactures or imports packaged commodities, uses weighing or measuring instruments, or sells goods by weight, number or measure must obtain registration or license under the Legal Metrology Act. This includes retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, importers, packers and repairers of weighing and measuring instruments. Compliance is required before commencing business operations to avoid penalties and legal action.
Legal Metrology registration also ensures that packaged goods comply with mandatory labelling requirements such as maximum retail price, net quantity, manufacturer details, date of manufacture and consumer care information. Authorities conduct inspections to verify accuracy of weighing instruments and correctness of declarations. Non-compliance can result in fines, seizure of goods and cancellation of licenses.
