About Legal Metrology Registration (LMPC)
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Manufacturers, packers and importers of pre-packaged commodities must register with the Director or Controller of Legal Metrology under Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, and every package must carry the mandatory declarations — including name and address, net quantity, month and year of manufacture, MRP and consumer-care details. Importers of weights and measures need a separate importer registration under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009.
Marketplaces and modern retail check LMPC registration and labels before listing products; non-compliant labels are the most common reason for penalties and seizures by legal metrology inspectors.
We register you with the right authority (state Controller or the central Director depending on the case), review label artwork against the declarations required, and handle importer registration for weighing and measuring instruments.
