ASEAN Cooperation on Legal Metrology is aimed at facilitating the removal of technical barriers to trade associated with legal metrology in order to contribute to the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community. The ASEAN Legal Metrology Authorities have joined together through the ASEAN Consultative Committee for Standards and Quality (ACCSQ) Working Group on Legal Metrology (ACCSQ WG 3) to align legal metrology requirements amongst ASEAN Member States (AMS) and strengthen ASEAN cooperation at relevant international fora.

The guidelines serve as the common reference document by AMS in performing verifications of fuel dispensers. This will assist industry in ASEAN to reduce the cost of doing business and gain better market access for its product in local, regional and international markets, while at the same time ensuring better protection for consumers and improved social benefits.
