Dear friends, I am attaching a copy of the Legal Metrology Bill 2008 passed by the Parliament recently. This Bill standardizes the units for measurement to be used in India. It specifies the SI system (meter, kilogram, etc.) to be used and regulates the manufacture, sale, and use of standard weights and measures. Highlights of the Bill: - The Legal Metrology Bill, 2008 seeks to repeal the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976, and the Standards of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985. It also seeks to establish uniform standards of weights and measures, regulate trade in weights, and other goods which are sold or distributed by weight, measure, or number. - The central government may appoint a Director of Legal Metrology to perform duties related to inter-state trade and commerce. The state government may appoint a Controller of Legal Metrology to perform duties related to intra-state trade and commerce. - A person has to get approval of the model of a weight or a measure before manufacturing or importing it by the prescribed authority. Also, an importer has to register with the Director. - Every manufacturer, repairer, and seller has to obtain a license from the Controller. The Bill allows government-approved test centers to verify weights and measures. - The central government shall have the power to make rules.
