Weights and measures
The Trading Standards Service enforces a range of legislation relating to the use of weighing and measuring equipment, the sale of goods by reference to quantity and the labelling of goods subject to quantity control.
- Equipment - please refer to the National Weights & Measures Laboratory for details of legislation and for guidance notes covering weighing and measuring equipment in use for trade.
- Goods - for information on selling goods by quantity, the DTI have produced a factsheet giving an outline of the controls that apply.
Guidance leaflets for businesses on weights & measures and other areas are also available on the Trading Standards Central website.
