[USMA:29081] UK scales used in trade

[Chimpsarecute]

A few weeks back I asked some questions on the situation involving UK scales used for trade.  To this date I received no answer, so I am going to reask my questions.   I wanted to know how the situation is handled with a trader whose scale(s) is(are) out of compliance.   1.) Does the Trading Standards continue to certify non-compliant scales?   2.) If not, under what provision are the traders allowed to continue to use non-certified scales?   3.) If so, for what reason are scales being recertified that don't comply?   I understand in some circumstances the authorities were doing nothing pending the outcome of all court challenges.  Now, since the organised opposition has in fact lost their case the ECHR, that should end all court challenges for good and the reason for suspending prosecution is no longer valid.   To anyone's knowledge, is there going to be an action on completing the metrication of those scales not yet converted?
