Trading standards

Working in partnership with local businesses

The trading standards team can help your business to trade within often complex regulatory frameworks. We are here to offer advice and guidance and have trained and experienced officers who can provide advice and guidance on compliance issues.

By working together in partnership we can assist you to get it right first time, reduce compliance costs and help to ensure that your business is trading on the right side of the law.

Rip-off Tip-off allows you to tell trading standards about traders who you think are ‘ripping off’ the public anywhere in the United Kingdom. Your information could help stop someone being ‘conned’.

  • Home authority principle
    We adhere to national guidelines which require us to place special emphasis on companies resident in Salford.
  • Trade information and advice leaflets
    There are a number of leaflets available to download which are designed to help businesses comply with the law.
  • Legislation
    Trading Standards enforce over 50 Acts of Parliament and in excess of 1,000 sets of other regulations and orders.
  • Enforcement and prosecution policy
    Salford Trading Standards has a clear and understandable enforcement and prosecution policy.

We welcome the views of businesses on the services that we provide. Tell us what you think by emailing trading.standards@salford.gov.uk
