Do I need trade approved scales?

If you are weighing and packing goods for sale to customers, it is very likely that you will need to use trade-approved scales.

Legal requirements mandate the use of approved weighing equipment to ensure accuracy and fairness in commercial transactions.

Each manufacturer offers Trade-approved scales that have undergone testing and certification. Enforcement of their use is the responsibility of the National Measurement Office (NMO). It is their responsibility to ensure that specific standards of measurement are maintained and adhered to across all industries.

Compliance with these regulations is crucial to uphold consumer protection, maintain trust and fairness in business transactions, and avoid potential legal issues.

It is advisable to check with relevant authorities and regulations to ensure you are using the appropriate weighing equipment for your business.
