Model Approval is a compulsory certification process governed by the Legal Metrology Act for any individual or business intending to manufacture, import, or sell weighing or measuring instruments in India. The process involves submitting a sample model to a certified lab, where it undergoes technical evaluation to ensure it complies with the Indian standards for precision and functionality.

This certification helps prevent the sale of faulty or inaccurate devices in the market, thereby protecting consumer interests and promoting fair trade practices. Once approved, the certificate is valid for a specific duration and must be renewed as per regulations. For businesses involved in sectors like retail, industrial manufacturing, or transport, having a valid Model Approval Certificate is not just a regulatory formality—it’s a foundation for trust and legal trade.
