From our base at Cambourne, we are able to provide a testing and calibration service for weights and measures equipment.
Our relocation in 2004 to a purpose built laboratory at Sackville House, Great Cambourne is part of an ongoing process aimed at improving our service.
Our laboratory continues to provide a testing and calibration service for a variety of equipment, including weights, measures of length, capacity measures and weighing equipment.
Our procedures ensure we are able to provide consistent quality and traceability to national standards.
As part of Cambridgeshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service, we offer our services to customers within the county, but we also happily provide a service to customers based outside Cambridgeshire.
The laboratory is also responsible for maintaining local & working standard weights, plus testing equipment used by the Trading Standards Service for enforcement of the Weights and Measures Act 1985. This equipment is used at trade and business premises to verify the accuracy of weighing and measuring machines to ensure legal compliance.
Charges relate to testing and these can be found by viewing the Fees and Charges document below.
