Weights and measures play a critical role in trade, commerce and consumer protection within the Mising Autonomous Council (MAC). Standardising weights and measures ensures fairness and accuracy in transactions, promoting trust and transparency in the marketplace.

The MAC regulates weights and measures to uphold uniformity and consistency in commercial transactions across the region. This includes ensuring compliance with established standards for weighing and measuring goods, commodities and services. Through enforcement mechanisms and oversight, the MAC aims to prevent fraud, misrepresentation and unfair practices that could adversely affect consumers and businesses.

Key Initiatives

• Inspection and verification of weighing and measuring instruments.
• Enforcement of weights and measures standards in markets.
• Education and training for traders, retailers and consumers.
• Prevention of fraud and unfair trade practices.
• Coordination with state Legal Metrology department.

Way Forward

Additionally, the MAC provides education and training on weights and measures to stakeholders, including traders, retailers and consumers, to promote awareness and understanding of their rights and responsibilities. By fostering a culture of compliance and accountability, the MAC contributes to the orderly functioning of markets and the protection of consumer interests.
