Of all the floor scales currently on the market which conform to the EU Directive [90/384/EEC], the Child Growth Foundation recommends the Tanita WB100 S MA in terms of its reliability and accuracy for its specially negotiated price. The Department of Health document Measuring childhood obesity: Guidance to primary care trusts reminds purchasers that every scale now used to weigh children must be EUY Approved. The WB100 S MA is an electronic 6 x AA battery/mains self-zeroing stand-on scale with remote display on cable. Furthermore it comes with a manufacturer’s 3yr guarantee!

The DH recommends that any scale used in the school checks to combat obesity - or the MOTs for children envisaged in the White Paper Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services – have a capability of being read only by the health professional taking the weight.

The Child Growth Foundation recommend this scale and have negotiated a new price, reducing the retail cost from £413 to £304.33, inc. VAT (£259 excl. VAT).
