What is LMPC Certificate (Legal Metrology Packaged Commodity)?
An LMPC Certificate refers to Legal Metrology Packaged Commodity registration required under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodity) Rules, 2011. This certification is compulsory for importers, manufacturers, packers, distributors, and sellers of pre-packaged goods in India.
It ensures your products comply with legal requirements for labelling, measurement, weight, net quantity, and packaging standards before they are sold or distributed within the Indian market.
⚠️ Warning: Without valid registration, goods may be detained by customs authorities, and your business may face penalties or compliance risks under Legal Metrology regulations.
