Weights and Measures

Trading Standards is responsible for ensuring that all weighing and measuring equipment that is used to determine the quantity of goods being sold is accurate and used correctly.

We are also responsible for investigating any incidents involving the supply of short weight or measure goods.
We do this by:
  • Use of high accuracy weighing and measuring equipment against which all trade equipment is tested.
  • Checking the accuracy and suitability of trade equipment prior to its use for trade
  • Testing equipment used in shops, petrol stations, factories etc
  • Checking prepacked goods for correct quantity and labeling
  • Investigating complaints
  • Calibrating industrial equipment
