TRADE MEASUREMENT

Information

The Trade Measurement Unit is located in a special purpose measurement building at Kingston. The building houses the ACT Primary and Tertiary physical standards of mass, length and volume. It also has the only tanker test facility on the Australian eastern seaboard and is used to test the accuracy of bulk delivery fuel and LPG tankers.

Inspectors from the Unit conduct random inspections of businesses to ensure measuring instruments used for trade are correct and accurate. Inspectors also check packaged goods to ensure the correct content measurement and marking and they license and audit private organisations that conduct repairs of measuring instruments.
