A number of changes have been made to the government guidance:

  1. Replacement of the reference to commodity code 0803 90 10 with commodity codes 08039011 00 and 08039019 00.
  2. Clarification that the set scale tells you the minimum number of units which need to be inspected, the scale will be contained in the approval letter.
  3. Added a new section, ‘after you apply to become an authorised weigher’.
