NON-STANDARD WEIGHT & MEASUREMENT

SPECIALIZED APPROVAL SERVICES FOR INNOVATIVE PACKAGING DESIGNS

What is Non-Standard Weight Approval?

Non-standard weight and measurement approval is required for products that don't conform to the standard weight categories defined under the Legal Metrology Act. This includes innovative packaging, unique product sizes, or specialized measurement units.

This approval allows manufacturers and importers to market products with non-conventional weights while ensuring consumer protection and regulatory compliance.
