Overview of LMPC Certification:
Under Section 27 of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules 2011, it is mandatory for all entities involved in the handling of the pre-packing or importation of pre-packaged commodities intended for sale, distribution or delivery to secure an LMPC Certification.
This requirement applies universally to individuals, firms, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), societies, companies or corporations engaged in this kind of activities. The certification ensures compliance with statutory regulations regarding accurate declarations, proper labeling and adherence to prescribed measurement standards for the commodities, thereby safeguarding consumer interests and promoting fair trade practices.
Legal Metrology in general refers to the application to measurements and measuring instruments. The primary objective of the government is to ensure public assurance regarding the accuracy and security of measurements and weighments which are vital to the public interest as many of the products are used for day-to-day activities.
In the public interest the Director of Legal Metrology empowered as a statutory authority under the Legal Metrology Act 2009 is entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing and regulating inter-state trade and commerce involving weights, measures and pre-packaged commodities.
