Which Legal Metrology
approval applies?
Four commonly confused tracks serve different products and business roles.
Packaged commodities
Manufacturers, packers and importers register and apply mandatory declarations to pre-packaged goods.
Instrument business
Manufacturers, dealers and repairers of weights or measures use separate state licences.
Model approval
Specified weighing or measuring instrument models need central approval before manufacture or import.
Instrument importer
Importing weights or measures can require a distinct central importer certificate.
Legal Metrology
Right role. Right approval. Right label.
There is no single Legal Metrology certificate.
A business can require several registrations, licences, model approvals and periodic verifications. State rules also change forms, fees, inspections and timelines.
What you receive,
ready to use.
We separate packaged-commodity registration from weights-and-measures licences, model approval and instrument-importer registration, then prepare the right central or state-facing application.
