Legal Metrology and Weights & Measures Registration involves the registration required for businesses that manufacture, sell, or use weighing and measuring instruments, or engage in packaged commodities. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.
Mistake 1
Assuming compliance applies only to large manufacturers, not retailers or packagers.
Mistake 2
Using uncalibrated instruments in day-to-day business.
Mistake 3
Non-compliant packaging labels missing mandatory declarations.
Mistake 4
Letting registration lapse without renewal.
How to Avoid These Issues
Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — Details of weighing/measuring instruments used or manufactured, Proof of business premises, Packaged commodity labelling compliance, where applicable, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with the Legal Metrology Department.
