British Weights and Measures Act

The British Weights and Measures Act governs the use, standardization, and regulation of weights and measures in the UK. It ensures that all measurements for goods, trade, and commerce are accurate and consistent, using official standards like grams, meters, and liters. The Act also regulates the marking and packaging of products, so consumers can trust the quantities they purchase. Essentially, it protects consumers and businesses by maintaining uniform measurement standards, reducing disputes, and promoting fair trade practices across the country.
