Introduction
Using unstamped or uncertified calibration weights in a commercial setting can lead to failed inspections, fines, and even license suspensions. That’s where Legal Metrology Stamping comes in.
At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we help businesses get their iron and SS 304 weights legally stamped and verified as per government norms.
Here’s everything you need to know.
🛡️ What Is Legal Metrology Stamping?
The Legal Metrology Department (under the Government of India) regulates weights and measures used in trade. To ensure uniformity, any calibration weight used in:
Commercial weighing
Weighbridge calibration
Gold or jewellery weighing
…must be certified and stamped.
The stamp confirms:
The weight's accuracy
That it meets BIS or OIML standards
That it is approved for commercial use in India

You need stamping if:
You use the weights in a commercial setup (e.g., shops, transport, trade)
