Legal Metrology Registration for Manufacturers, Packers & Importers

Legal Metrology governs weights, measures, and pre-packaged commodities in India. Manufacturers, packers, and importers all have registration and declaration obligations.

Who Must Register?

• Manufacturers/importers of packaged goods — packer/importer registration.
• Makers of weighing & measuring instruments — model approval and manufacturer licence.

Packaged Commodity Declarations

Packs must declare net quantity, MRP, manufacturer/importer details, and date — accurately and legibly.

Penalties

Wrong declarations, missing registration, or unverified instruments attract fines and, for repeat offences, prosecution.

Statura obtains Legal Metrology registrations and ensures packaging compliance for manufacturers and importers.
