I guess I should rephrase the question by asking if manufacturers can now label products not covered by the FPLA with metric only labeling and legally sell these in all USA states and territories.
Is the above a true statement? ----- Original Message ----- From: "eugene a mechtly" <[email protected]> To: "ezra steinberg" <[email protected]> Cc: "USMA" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 11:07:27 PM Subject: Re: [USMA 30] Re: Amendments to the Uniform Packaging and Labeling Regulation (UPLR) Ezra, Consumer Commodities under *state only* (not federal) jurisdiction may be labeled in NY in metric-only units of measurement. Consumer Commodities under federal (FPLA) jurisdiction must still be labeled in dual (SI and US Customary) Units of measurement. Jurisdictions, state only, or federal (e.g.FTC, FDA, USDA, EPA, etc.) are specified in NIST Handbook 130; downloadable free of charge. Amendment of the FPLA is still needed so that *all* consumer commodities may be labeled in metric-only units of measurement!
