India is set to overhaul and decriminalise all provisions and rules of the Legal Metrology Act
India is set to overhaul and decriminalise all provisions and rules of the Legal Metrology Act, which governs robustness of consumer and industrial products, cosmetics to elevators, to usher in a regime of quicker and reliable private-sector certification with the oversight of state controllers, Union consumer affairs minister Pralhad Joshi said on Saturday.
Legal metrology deals with quality and quantity of consumer items to ensure products contain and conform to what their labels claim. It is especially key to weights and measures of packaged items and machines used for industrial calibration.
