Government Approved Test Centre (GATC)

Government Approved Test Centre (GATC) is an authorized testing facility approved by the government to verify and re-verify specific weights and measuring instruments under legal metrology rules. In the context of fuel dispensers, a GATC checks whether equipment such as petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG, LNG or hydrogen dispensers measures fuel accurately and complies with official standards. These centres help protect consumers, support fair trade and reduce pressure on government inspection departments by carrying out technical verification work. For clean energy infrastructure, GATCs are important because accurate measurement builds trust in emerging fuel markets, supports compliance and helps ensure that operators, customers and regulators can rely on verified dispensing systems.
