India has become the 13th country in the world that can issue Internationally Accepted OIML (International Organisation of Legal Metrology) Certificates. Addressing media in New Delhi, Secretary, of Consumer Affairs Rohit Kumar Singh said Domestic manufacturers can now get their weighing and measuring instruments tested in the country and sell in the International market. He said, it is a single certificate accepted worldwide and reduces redundancy, and saves resources. He added that this system ensures uniformity and trust in measurement worldwide and saves resources by avoiding repeated certifications. Now Indian manufacturers or their agents can obtain OIML Certificates for their measuring instruments from the Indian OIML Issuing Authority which is Legal Metrology Division, Department of Consumer Affairs.
