-**Status**: [Experimental](../document-status.md)
-
-RegisterProducer causes the MetricReader to use the provided
-[MetricProducer](#metricproducer) as a source of aggregated metric data in
-subsequent invocations of Collect. RegisterProducer is expected to be called
-during initialization, but MAY be invoked later. Multiple registrations
-of the same MetricProducer MAY result in duplicate metric data being collected.

-If the [MeterProvider](#meterprovider) is an instance of

-MeterProvider, but MUST NOT allow multiple [MeterProviders](#meterprovider)
