In May 2026, under which rules did the Department of Consumer Affairs amend the framework to expand the scope of Government Approved Test Centres (GATC) for the verification and re-verification of fuel dispensing systems?
Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2013
The Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2013 are framed under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. They allow suitable laboratories and establishments to be recognised as Government Approved Test Centres (GATCs) that can verify and re-verify weights and measures, supplementing the State Legal Metrology departments.
In May 2026, the Department of Consumer Affairs amended this GATC framework to widen the scope of GATCs so that they can carry out verification and re-verification of fuel dispensing systems (the dispensers used at fuel stations).
The Packaged Commodities Rules, 2011 govern declarations on pre-packaged goods, the National Standards Rules, 2011 deal with the reference standards of weights and measures, and the General Rules, 2011 lay down general specifications for weights and measures; none of them sets up the GATC system.
Hence, the answer is Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2013.
