Trade Approved Scales

To count as Trade Approved, weighing scales and related equipment have to be independently tested and certified by law. Failure to do so is against Trading Standards rules if you are selling by weight. Trade Approved retail scales are a familiar sight in our shops. Other Trade Approved weighing scales are used in warehouses, factories, production lines, manufacturing operations, and delivery depots. All Trade Approved scales ultimately have the same function: to guarantee fair, correct weight measurement. Their use is mandatory for any operation selling products by weight. If your business prices raw materials per kilogram, for example, it is important you use Trade Approved scales to serve your customers so they know they are getting the weights they are promised. By providing reliable results, Trade Approved scales support compliant, trustworthy commercial transactions across a wide range of industries. If you’re not sure which Trade Approved scales you need, ask our team of experts for guidance.
