The States of Guernsey Trading Standards Service is seeking views on proposed changes to the legislation of Weights and Measures in Guernsey and Alderney.
Following a review of the Weights and Measures (Guernsey and Alderney) Law 1991 (the Law), this consultation document is concerned with proposed changes to the Law and associated regulations and is intended to obtain the views of businesses, consumer representatives and the general public on those changes. The Law applies in Guernsey, Alderney and Herm, but does not apply in Sark.
The need for this review of the Law has been confirmed by the Law Officers of the Crown. They have advised the Trading Standards Service that the current law is out of date in comparison to the law in other jurisdictions, and should be updated to ensure that Guernsey businesses are able to compete on a level playing field with UK and international competitors and Guernsey consumers benefit from an effective market.
