TRADING STANDARDS

What We do - Weights and Measures

Most weighing and measuring equipment in use for trade must meet strict levels of accuracy. Trading Standards Officers regularly test the accuracy of equipment such as petrol pumps, shop scales, weighbridges and pub measures.

Trading Standards Officers can certify the accuracy or verify for use for trade a variety of pieces of weighing or measuring equipment. The cost of these services can be found by following the link to price list
