Trading Standards Officers test the competence of Public Weighbridge Operators and issue a certificate before public weighings can be carried out. Records are kept of all public weighbridges and the locations of the nearest public weighbridges are given on request.
Anyone carrying out public weighings (usually on a weighbridge) for which a charge is made needs to hold a certificate showing they have sufficient knowledge to carry out their duties competently and honestly.
To submit a request for certification at a site in Coventry , please complete the attached form and send it to Trading Standards by post or email. Our contact details can be found to the right of this page. If you supply the information in the attached application form, we will then contact you to confirm an appointment for a short test of the applicant's knowledge and performance of duties.
Alternatively contact us for Business Advice on 024 7683 3333.
There is no charge for the test and certification.
You will need to supply the name of the applicant, the name and address of the weighbridge site and make of weighbridge. We will need contact details to arrange a convenient date and time for the test.
A certificate can be issued by Trading Standards following a short test.
No.
We will contact you if there is a problem with the licence.
