From 1 July 2010, the Australian trade measurement system will be transferred to the National Measurement Institute (NMI).
The new system will consolidate the former trade measurement responsibilities from each of the states and territories. New National Trade Measurement Regulations will come in to effect and will impact businesses from 1 July 2010.
The new regulations cover:
- the use of measuring instruments for trade
- testing and verification of measuring instruments in use for trade
- transactions by measurement
- pre-packaged articles
- licensing of public weighbridges and instrument
- verifying businesses (servicing licensees).
For more information on the introduction of the national trade measurement system and what impact it may have on your business, visit the National Measurement Institute website.
