You won't be able to save this form to complete later, so please allow yourself at least five minutes to fill in the form.
Following your application you will be contacted within five working days to arrange a mutually convenient date for you to be tested by an Inspector of Weights and Measures at the premises where the weighing or measuring equipment is located. Tacit consent does not apply, it is a legal requirement that the authority must process your application and you must be tested before a certificate can be granted. If you have not heard from the local authority within a reasonable period, please contact us.

In the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the trader by you - preferably in the form of a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK,
