FAQs

Introduction

In past ages, accurate weights and measures are very significant in any society, be it the economic production for personal wellbeing to the different sections – consumers, government, traders, and industries. The Indus Valley Civilization, the Harappan civilization, was one of the earliest societies to have a standard system of measurements. The Standards of Weights and Measures Act was incorporated into an act of Parliament in India during December 1956 but actually came into effect from October 1, 1985.

The Legal Metrology Certification prescribes some registrations like Dealer Licenses and Packer Licenses depending where the business is situated. 

Legal Metrology Certification controls the dimensions of packaged goods available or distributed within the country while affording them legal status, which means they are in keeping with the national standards and specifications. Legal Metrology License is what we can refer to as this.

Legal Metrology Certification

What is Legal Metrology Certification? Why is Legal Metrology Act Registration needed for Businesses?

Metrology is the science of measurement. Legal metrology Certification defines standards to govern and control measurements and measuring devices. It upholds and encourages fair trade while protecting public safety, the environment, consumers, and businesses.

The Legal Metrology Act of 2009 states that any packaged goods sold or distributed within the country, or exported, must obtain a Legal Metrology Certification from the Metrology Department, in the Consumer Affairs ministry.

Registration under the Legal Metrology Certification has significance for the businesses to smoothly maintain trade, in respect of the subjects under the legal metrology Certification laws and regulations. These set of rights include the legal requirement to market and distribute packaged goods, which incorporates adhering to the processes in the import and export of pre-packed commodities. The laws afford protection to consumers and their rights and hence smoothen the functioning of the business.

Importance of Legal Metrology Certification?

The fundamental object of Legal Metrology Certification is to ensure precision and dependability of measurement when applied to any trade or commerce.

  • Consumer Protection: Assessing the correctness of measurements guarantees that consumers receive the quantity for which they have paid, thereby fostering trust and loyalty.
  •  Fair Competition: Disallowing the cultivation of an unfair advantage by illicit weighing or measuring will keep the path open for everyone.
  •  Legal Compliance: To avoid penalties, fines, and legal consequences for any non-compliance under the Legal Metrology Certification Packaged Commodities Rules.
  • Enhanced Reputation: Demonstrates commitment to quality and ethical conduct, thus improving the image of the company itself.
  •  Market Access: In many sectors or geographical areas, LMPC certificate becomes a prerequisite for participation in tenders or sale of your products.

Legal Metrology License Rule Set

India is entirely governed by The Legal Metrology Act, 2009 in relation to weighing and measuring instruments thus rules under this Act are to be made. The key rules are:

  • Legal Metrology (General) rules, 2011: These are approximately 40 device types such as fuel pumps, electronic weighing machines, and water meters. Regular inspections are carried out by officials of the state government.
  •  Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011: These rules lay down the mandatory labeling of all pre-packaged goods including the manufacturer’s name, country of origin, price, and quantity.
  • Legal Metrology (Approval of Models) Rules, 2011: These rules lay down the criteria for pre-packaged products in the presenting of their information.
  • Legal Metrology (National Standards) Rules, 2011: These rules articulate base units of measurement and standards thereof for purposes of verification.
  •  Legal Metrology (Numeration) Rules, 2011: Rules are stipulated for writing and use of numbers in legal metrology contexts.
  •  Indian Institute of Legal Metrology Rules, 2011: Rules applicable to the Indian Institute of Legal Metrology (IILM), Ranchi, in training Legal Metrology Officers.

 Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2013 : These rules are guidelines for the government approval and operation of test centres.

Legal Metrology Online Registration

It is mandatory under Legal Metrology for everyone engaged in any activity concerning weighing and measuring instruments to register. Registration can happen in three capacities:

  • Company Registration: A company or enterprise, which manufactures, imports or packs weighing and measuring instruments, is required to register under legal metrology.
  • Registration of Importer: The Certificate of Registration of Importer is necessary to export or sell weighing and measuring instruments in the Indian market. These could be as a general importer, as an importer/packer (packaging/warehouse registration), or registration of a company under legal metrology Certification. Only standard packed commodities are permitted for importation.
  • Registration for Manufacturer, Importer, Packers: Packaging and Warehouses have been described according to Legal Metrology Certification requirements concerning packaging and warehouse registration for ca. Companies marketing goods in India which require weight and measurement information to be made available on the product’s labeling.

For weight-and-measure-related products like Weighing Machines, the Legal Metrology (LM) department prescribes five stages of registration:

  • Model Approval
  • Packaged Commodity Registration
  • Import License
  • Dealership License
  • Stamping of products.

Who Needs This License in Legal Metrology?

In general, businesses involved in production, import, export, distribution, or sales in packaged goods must comply with legal metrology regulations and the law on packaged commodities.

Here is a little list of the companies and people who usually needs this kind of metrology licensing from law:

  • Manufacturers: Most companies manufacture their products in packages. Most likely, such goods will go through the legal metrology Certification process prior to marketing.
  • Retailers and Packers: Retailers selling pre-packaged goods, as well as businesses that pack or repackage goods for sale, must guarantee compliance with labeling and quantity regulations, in accordance with legal metrology Certification requirements.
  • Distributors and Wholesalers: Then they must comply before distributing products through retailers or consumers with legal metrology Certification and the Legal Metrology Act, 2009.
  • Service Providers: There may be certain service providers who pack or re-pack packaged products for sale. They may also need to comply with registration under the legal metrology Act.

Products That Need Legal Metrology Registration in India

The Legal Metrology Act makes sure that all weights, measures, and packaged products are correct. This protects buyers and keeps sellers honest. Some products must have registration:

  1. Weighing and Measuring Tools

    • Scales and measuring devices used in shops or business.

    • Example: Weighing machines, measuring tapes.

Advantages of Legal Metrology License (LMPC Certificate)

  • Simplifies and Facilitates Trade: LMPC certification is legally recognized documentation attesting to the compliance of the goods with legal metrology standards, hence promoting export, financing, and trade in India. It also facilitates the import of goods into India.

  • Cost and Time Savings: A legal Metrology Certification of Import would contain particulars of weight and characteristics of pre-packed goods. This helps expedite customs clearance and avoid delays, penalties, or costs.
  • Builds Trust Between Sellers and Buyers: Consumers favor buying goods whose assembled packaging gives evidence that they have undergone the Legal Metrology Act registration. Accurate weights and measures certified by a trustworthy authority increase customer satisfaction and ultimately help toward the trust of legal metrology license-certified providers.
