Weights and Measures

We routinely test weighing and measuring equipment used for trade to ensure its accuracy. New and repaired equipment for trade use has to be tested to ensure it is accurate before it is put into use or after it has been repaired. If you require our services for the testing and stamping of equipment, please contact us in good time to ensure we can meet your requirements.

We also operate a metrology laboratory and provide a calibration service for testing standards of mass, volume and length traceable to national standards. We have 'Approved Body' status under the Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments (EEC Requirements) Regulations 1995.
