The Legal Metrology Act was enacted in 2009 to give standardised weights and measurement methods and values in trade and commercial use. It gave uniformity to the world dealing with weights and measurements. Under the Legal Metrology Act, any manufacturer or importer dealings in goods and services that are bought or sold by number, weight or measures need prior approval or a license to certify the type of weight and measurement used from the concerned authorities.
The Legal Metrology Department has defined a particular license for weights and measures. The application for such a license is made by the manufacturer, dealer, or repairer of weights and measures along with other related instruments. The legal metrology license is not required by the one who uses the weight and measures or any related instrument.
