Legal Metrology (LMPC) Certification

REGISTRATION OF LEGAL METROLOGY

Anyone who works with weighing and measuring devices must register with the legal metrology office. It can be used in the following three capacities: 

Business Registration – Under legal metrology, any company that manufactures, imports, or packages weights and measuring devices must register.

Importer Registration – You must get an Importer Registration Certificate for weighing and measuring equipment before you may export your goods or sell them on the Indian market. India only permits the import of packaged items that have been standardized. The importer must be registered under the general rule, the importer and packer must be registered (in the container and warehouse register), and the firm must be registered under legal metrology.

Manufacturers, importers, and packers (packaging and warehouse) registration: For product labels that fall under the purview of statutory metrology certification, the relevant firm must get a Packing and Warehouse Registration or Renewal in order for the items to be traded in India. Scales that fit under the heading of “weight and measure” require the 5-step registrations of the LM department to be completed: type certification registration of packaged items; import permission; dealer license; product stamping.
