How Legal Metrology registration works

The usual picture. Procedures, fees and forms differ by state and authority — always check the current rules before you apply.

Who needs it

  • Manufacturers and packers who pack goods for retail sale
  • Importers of pre-packaged commodities (registered with the Director, Legal Metrology)
  • E-commerce sellers of their own packed products

Documents usually asked for

  • Constitution of the business and identity proof of the owners
  • GST registration and proof of the premises
  • List of products with pack sizes
  • Specimen labels showing the declarations

The process

  1. Check the declarations your labels must carry
  2. Apply to the state Legal Metrology controller (importers apply to the Director, Legal Metrology)
  3. Scrutiny of the application and labels
  4. Registration granted; keep labels compliant for every new pack size
