Trading standards

Trading standards advice for consumers and businesses in Dorset.

Our aim is to provide a fair and safe trading environment for the consumers and businesses of Dorset, through education, advice, enforcement, and by working together with our partners.

    • Consumers
    • For Consumer Advice, make a complaint about a business, find trading standards approved traders, learn about and report a scam, obtain a door-card to deter uninvited doorstep traders and to read about latest consumer issues.
    • Business
    • We offer advice and information to help local businesses comply with the law and work to national guidelines known as the Home Authority Principle.
    • Animal health
    • We help promote and maintain standards of animal health and welfare. We are responsible for enforcing over 150 acts, orders and regulations.
    • Buy with confidence
    • Would you like to show potential customers that you are a trader to be trusted and be able to advertise that you are approved by Dorset County Council Trading Standards Service?
