Weighing and measuring equipment e.g. liquid fuel dispensers; weighbridges; retail shop weighing machines; spirit measures in pubs and a whole host of other equipment used in transactions for goods and services are all subject to legal controls.
More detailed guidance on the legislation that governs the use of such equipment is available from the National Measurement Office website, but anyone wishing to use any weighing or measuring equipment for trade purposes and who requires advice on how the law applies to their business or have equipment tested can contact Highland Council Trading Standards.
