Legal Metrology Registration

Ensure Accuracy, Build Consumer Trust, and Stay Statutorily Compliant

What is Legal Metrology?

Legal Metrology refers to the application of legal requirements to measurements and measuring instruments. Under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, businesses that manufacture, import, pack, or sell products based on weight, measure, volume, length, or number are required to register with the Department of Legal Metrology, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Government of India.

This law ensures standardization, accuracy, and fairness in trade practices — protecting both the business and the end consumer.

 Who Needs Legal Metrology Registration?

Legal Metrology Registration is mandatory for:

• Manufacturers or packers of consumer goods

• Importers of packaged products or equipment

• E-commerce sellers dealing in measurable goods

• Wholesalers and retailers using weights & measures

• Food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharma companies

• Any business selling goods in packaged form with MRP, quantity, or size

If your product has a label with quantity (grams, ml, meters, etc.), Legal Metrology compliance is a must.

Types of Legal Metrology Registrations

1. Manufacturer Registration – For companies manufacturing weights, measures, or packaged goods

2. Importer Registration – For businesses importing pre-packaged commodities

3. Packer/Dealer Registration – For those who re-pack, re-label, or sell packaged goods

4. Model Approval – For new weighing/measuring devices needing approval before sale

5. Weight & Measure Verification – Regular certification and stamping of weighing instruments
