Has anybody had a trading standards inspection where the inspector has asked to see their assurance inspection report ?

No. I don’t see what that has to do with TS. Are they just fishing?; using the FA report to identify things that TS can then look at?
What can TS do if you refuse?

Yes. They asked, but i hadn't received my Certificate of Conformity for the year at the time. I had a quick rummage around my office for my compliance report & the chap said that the office looks organised & the farm/yard looks up together, so he's happy to tick his box. This was a visit to take some official grain samples of Milling Wheat, so while it didn't occur to me that they may not have any right to see the Certificate, I didn't see any point in being obstructive, and had nothing to hide, so was as accommodating as possible. Nice chap, polite and very 'human'.

They asked to see ours. They said something along the lines of being farm assured and everything else being in order means they wont be back for a long time for routine a inspection.

This is a bit alarming. Trading standards are a far more serious organisation than any farm assurance organisation. I would say yes but you are planning to leave Red tractor at some stage but they are welcome to look around and inspect anyway.

Had a Trading Standards inspection a while back. They asked about RT assurance. As I’m not RT assured I couldn’t show them anything, and they weren’t to bothered. They checked some animals in the shed had water!

Nope first was very particular and seemed more grating the second was friendly and a lot more laid back.

Had an inspection just before CV pandemic and the inspector did not even know what RT was. All she wanted to see was our fuel tank, grain store with haccp doc, weighbridge calibration cert and then asked a few questions about where our crops end up in the food chain. It was all very pleasant and lasted about an hour.
