Details

This document provides guidance for organisations that are required to comply with weights and measures law for material length measures.

The Measuring Instruments Regulations 2016 revoked the Measuring Instruments (Material Measures of Length) Regulations 2006 on 28 December 2016, but the existing technical requirements are unchanged, so this guidance remains relevant.

Read guidance on the Measuring Instruments Regulations 2016.
