The Trading Standards Service makes sure that all weighing and
measuring equipment used for trade is accurate.
- We inspect all premises which use weighing and measuring
equipment. These can range from shop scales to pub spirit measures,
and length measures to weighbridges.
- We investigate complaints where a customer has received "short
measure" or where inaccurate equipment is used.
- We carry out visits to all manufacturers, packers and importers
in The City of London. During these visits packages are checked,
equipment tested and quality systems audited.
- We give advice and assistance to City businesses to make sure
that they abide by Weights and Measures legislation.
