Sartorius Mechatronics UK, the manufacturer of weighing and measurement equipment, is to hold a seminar on the Packaged Goods Regulations 2006.

The event will outline the requirements of the Packaged Goods Regulations and the average weight system in plain and coherent language to delegates from the production and packaging industries.

The seminar will take place at the National Space Centre in Leicester on 11 September.

The company said: "This is the only opportunity any company filling to volume or weight will have to openly and freely discuss the regulations and reducing giveaway without fear of being inspected or prosecuted.

"Delegates who have attended in the past know that it is possible to replace their better to be safe than sorry approach with a better to be well informed and profitable approach," it added.

It is estimated that more than 70% of UK packaged goods are still overfilled above the level required by law.
