Weights and Measures Act 1985 and the Weights and Measures (Packaged Goods) Regulations 1986
Starting Date: 08-07-05
Closing Date: 07-10-05
These draft regulations set out a complete regime for the average system of quantity control applied to packaged goods. The aim is to simplify the legislation and rationalise its scope as well as removing unnecessary burdens from packers and importers of packaged goods.
Feedback from an earlier consultation carried out between March and June 2004 on the principles behind the reform has been taken into account in developing these draft regulations.
