LMPC Certificate

LMPC Certificate – An Overview

An LMPC (Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities) Certificate is a registration granted under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 to businesses engaged in the manufacturing, packing, importing, or selling of pre-packaged commodities. The certificate ensures that packaged goods comply with the prescribed standards relating to quantity, labeling, declarations, and consumer protection.

Businesses dealing with pre-packaged commodities are required to comply with the Legal Metrology laws by making mandatory declarations on product packaging, including the name and address of the manufacturer, packer or importer, net quantity, Maximum Retail Price (MRP), month and year of manufacture or import (where applicable), customer care details, and other prescribed information.

Obtaining an LMPC Certificate helps businesses operate legally, enhances consumer confidence, and ensures compliance with statutory packaging and labeling requirements.

At CAANYTIME, we provide complete assistance for obtaining the LMPC Certificate, including eligibility assessment, documentation, application filing, coordination with the Legal Metrology Department, and end-to-end compliance support.
