North Lincolnshire Council's Trading Standards section deals with issues regarding "weights and measures", including:
- Inspecting and testing weighing and measuring equipment used in business, such as shop scales, petrol pumps and weighbridges
- Inspecting and testing output from local manufacturers and packers
- Advising businesses on all aspects of weights and measures laws
- Work in partnership with the Humber authorities calibration test centre, to provide and maintain local standards of weights and measures
- We are a founding member of the Yorkshire and Humber authorities verification service - an EC approved body - and so can offer a verification service for virtually all types of weighing and measuring instruments.
