National Trading Standards

National Trading Standards is responsible for gathering important intelligence from around the country to combat rogue traders and tackle a number of priorities.

These priorities currently include mass marketing and internet scams to other enforcement issues that go beyond local authority boundaries.

National Trading Standards is different to the support provided by local trading standards services and the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.

We work closely with these partners to help us in our goals, but our remit is focused solely on leading investigations into trading standards offences.
