Details

In many instances the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is asked for an opinion on particular circumstances that have an impact on a wider group of organisations or equipment. Where it is necessary to communicate that opinion to the enforcement services in general, OPSS uses the Weights and Measures bulletin. Documents are controlled through version numbers and issue dates and only the current version is shown.
