LMPC Model Approval is a mandatory legal certification issued by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Legal Metrology Division, Government of India. Any business dealing in weighing or measuring instruments—whether importing, manufacturing, distributing, or selling—must obtain this approval before introducing such devices into the Indian market
Without LMPC Model Approval, the product cannot be imported, sold, advertised, marketed, installed, or used commercially within India. Customs authorities frequently block shipments of weighing scales, dispensers, smart meters, fuel pumps, weighbridges, and volume meters if Model Approval is not presented at the time of import clearance.
This certificate confirms the accuracy, quality, measurement precision, manufacturing standard, and safety of the weighing or measuring instrument. It ensures that no consumer is cheated in terms of weight, volume, price, or measurement.
LMPC Model Approval legally verifies that an instrument model meets Indian metrology laws and is fit for commercial use. The approval is issued only after:
Once approved, the instrument is registered in the national LMPC system and becomes eligible for legal sale in India.
This approval is required by every entity engaged with measuring devices, including:
If you import weighing scales, utility meters, smart dispensers, fuel machines, or commercial measurement devices, customs will not release the shipment until LMPC Model Approval is submitted.
Manufacturers must obtain Model Approval before mass production. Only after approval can the factory apply stamps, packaging labels, & sale permissions.
Any distributor selling approved weighing/measuring products must ensure that the model has been registered under LMPC certification.
Businesses packaging goods in defined weights & measurements must ensure measuring instruments used in warehouses and plants are LMPC-compliant.
Any industry selling a quantity-determined product is liable under Legal Metrology accuracy standards.
