Weights and measures (legal metrology)
What do we do?
We check and verify weighing and measuring equipment from
weighbridges to shop scales from measures in pubs to petrol pumps.
We also inspect and test goods sold by weight and measure. We test
packaged goods at retail level and the systems that are used in the
manufacturing process. We test goods sold at retail level ranging
from food items to road fuel and home heating oil deliveries. We
also check the quantity of goods delivered to businesses.
We can provide advice to businesses on current legislation
and proposed legislation as well as a metrological technology
service and we are able to assist West Sussex businesses in taking
advantage of the free movement of goods and metrological equipment
within the European Union.
Please note that the provision of business advice is now subject
to charge. See Contact Trading Standards
for further details.
