Weights and measures

All goods, whether pre-packed or not, should be of the correct weight or measure stated on the packaging or indicated on the premises.

A complex set of regulations exist designed to ensure that the public and businesses have confidence in their purchases and competition is fair.


Surrey County Council Trading Standards Service:

  • verify that weighing and measuring equipment is initially accurate
  • routinely visit businesses checking weighing and measuring equipment
  • check products in shops
  • investigate complaints of short measure

You can contact them to arrange a verification of weighing or measuring equipment in your shop.
