We are using water in our factory for machine cooling and general use (drinking etc) for this we are drawing water from river and installed a water meter ( calibrated & approved by Irrigation Dept.) for the same. Is it necessary for the water meter to be stamped / calibrated by the Weights and Measure Dept.? We are aluminium sheet manufacturing unit and are not using water for production/selling purpose.

We feel that stamping from Weights & Measure dept. is only required for Water Meters where water is used for making final products such as Mineral water,Distilled water, cold drinks,or any such products where water is used as raw material to manufacture the
final product. Kindly clarify with regard to this issue.
