Our Trading Standards Service aims to promote a
fair, safe and equitable trading environment for both consumers and
businesses across North Somerset.
As a law enforcement agency it is responsible for enforcing more
than 70 Acts of Parliament and more than 1300 associated UK and
European regulations which have an impact on practically all
aspects of modern life.
Whether you are buying a loaf, a litre of petrol or jetting off

you make are carried out within the law.

- Animal health, feedstuffs and pet foods

- Counterfeit goods and hallmarking
- Food composition and labelling
- Holidays and timeshare
- Misleading advertisements and trade descriptions
