Legal Metrology Compliance
Accuracy Builds Trust – Stay Compliant, Stay Competitive
In today’s marketplace, fair trade depends heavily on accurate measurements and transparent declarations. The Legal Metrology Act, 2009, governs these aspects to ensure that consumers get what they pay for and businesses maintain credibility.
At Alpviram Legal, we offer end-to-end Legal Metrology compliance services, helping manufacturers, importers, packers, and sellers meet the mandatory requirements related to weights, measures, and packaged goods—while avoiding penalties and operational delays.
What is Legal Metrology?
Legal Metrology is the law that regulates weights, measurements, and units used in commercial transactions. It also governs labeling, packaging declarations, and verification of instruments like weighing machines, fuel dispensers, and more.
