Trading standards - weights and measures

Weights and Measures Calibration Service

By 'calibration' we mean the determination of accuracy of the equipment in question.  Calibration does not include adjustment to bring it within a required tolerance.  

Adjustment on equipment not used for trade may be carried out by prior agreement.

At our Kendal headquarters we have an approved weights and measures laboratory.

Between the laboratory and testing in-situ, we can test and certificate the vast majority of weighing and measuring equipment used in shops, factories and warehouses.  So, whether it's a weighbridge or a petrol pump, a brake tester or a beer meter - if you want it testing, we might have the answer.

Cumbria County Council provide weights and measures as part of their Trading Standards servies
