Technical Indexes’ new Trading Standards Specialist is a dedicated, fast online information service for trading standards professionals to access the latest UK and EU legislation.
Specially developed as a joint venture in association with LACOTS (The Local Authorities Co-ordinating Body on Food and Trading Standards), the service contains guidance material from more than 70 contributing bodies including OFT, LACOTS, BSI, FSA and DTI. Accessible from the LACOTS website at www.lacots.com, the new online service is the most comprehensive and fully up-to-date package of such information available.
Designed as a reference tool for the modern trading standards service, over 2000 key full text documents, plus over 5000 current key documents, provide an unrivalled, reliable and up-to-date reference source at the desktop including essential information on metrology, food and agriculture, consumer and product safety, fair trading and animal welfare.
To complement this new online service, British Standards Institution (BSI) has produced a special Trading Standards module for its British Standards Online Subscription Service to accompany Trading Standards Specialist, making its unbeatable database of information even more comprehensive!
Its specially designed user-friendly software makes for effortless searching, and a unique search engine transports you to the desired document – fast. All material on the new release is accessible via PDF imagery for clarity and speed, while hypertext linking allows for fast cross-referencing between related European legislation.
Data from the new service can be manipulated, rotated and enlarged on screen prior to printing, while frequent online updating mean trading standards professionals everywhere can be sure the information contained in Technical Indexes’ new Trading Standards Specialist is the very latest available.
