Details of LEGAL METROLOGY AUDIT-SERVICE

Legal Metrology refers to the regulatory framework related to weights, measures, and packaging to ensure accuracy and fairness in trade. In India, it is governed by the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, and enforced by the Department of Consumer Affairs.

It covers everything from packaged goods to weighing machines and ensures that consumers receive the correct quantity and information when purchasing a product.
