• We protect businesses and consumers in Devon and nationally by ensuring that these measurements are correct, and that customers get what they pay for.

• We verify and inspect all types of measuring equipment, from pub measures, petrol pumps, fuel tankers, weighbridges and shop scales, to complex packing installations in factories.

• We provide free advice to businesses on all aspects of Weights and Measures law, to help them comply with their legal obligations and to trade competitively and fairly.

• We investigate allegations of short measure of goods and enforce Weights and Measures law.

• If you are a consumer wishing to make a complaint about a trader, please contact our partners Citizens Advice Consumer Service for further information and assistance.
