Legal metrology and packaged commodity compliance support
Legal Metrology Compliance for Manufacturers, Importers, E-Commerce Sellers & Brand Owners
Every packaged product sold in India communicates important information to consumers through its label. Product quantity, MRP, manufacturer details, country of origin, customer care information, and other mandatory declarations help ensure transparency and fair trade practices.
To protect consumer interests and regulate trade practices, India has established a comprehensive legal framework under the Legal Metrology Act and Packaged Commodities Rules.
