If your site produces goods that are sold by weight, you are required to use Trade Approved Scales. This helps to ensure consumers receive exactly what they pay for.
The requirement to use Trade Approved Scales is applicable to businesses that supply food and alcohol, produce, livestock feed, firewood, liquid fuel, landscaping materials, precious metals and stones, mechanical and construction parts, and pre-packaged products.In order to support our customers in this area, we supply EC-approved weighing scales that meet the essential requirements listed in the EC Directive 2014/31/EU, which is in force under UK law. Identifiable through the 'M' logo that is featured on the label that sits on either the side or bottom of the scale, our trade-approved scales have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their design is fully compliant.
