The number found on a glass measure identifies the inspector of weights and measures (trading standards officer) who tested the measure for accuracy and passed it as fit for trade use. The number is to be found below the mark of a crown and together they form the verification stamp prescribed under weights and measures law.
The Department of Trade and Industry issues each local authority administering weights and measures legislation with a series of stamp numbers and that authority allocates one of these numbers to an individual trading standards officer, thus maintaining the chain of accountability.

Often the company will have its mark or abreviation there and the number is the volume to that mark, so you know how much you are getting.
