Scales for People |
||||
Scales for people are used to measure and determine the people’s body weight. The weight range for scales for people is from 0 kg up to 150 kg, and sometimes up to 200 kg. Scales for obese people have weight range up to 300 kg. This type of scales should be in every house. The regular use of scales for people allows to determine the weight in case of obesity or extreme thinness. In the past people used spring scales to measure their body weight. However, the results determined and shown by the spring scale apparatus were usually imprecise. Nowadays, most of the scales for people are digital and show the weight on the display. Digital scales for people are more accurate in measuring body weight and the digital display enables easier reading in comparison to mechanical scales. Besides measuring the body weight, most of the digital scales for people have some additional functions like the determination of body fat. These scales for people, which can determine body fat, measure body fat by means of the body electrical resistance. The results of the weighing can be affected by different factors such as a full bladder or dehydration after sport which can considerably change these values. To get more credible results it is important to weigh people at the same time and under the same conditions. The best conditions to weigh people are generally in the morning after urination or before having a shower (dry skin). Scales for people determine body fat and the amount of water in humans’ body using the same principle of electrical resistance. Finally, there are scales for people which measure Body Mass-Index (BMI) after introducing the weight and height.

The verification of scales for people (only for selected models) can be done when scales are ordered or as a reverification. Once an official verification has been done, the scales for people cannot be recalibrated using an external calibration weight. The first verification is valid for two years, but every other verification is valid for one year and must be done annually. We recommend an ISO calibration certificate for those companies that wish to include scales for people inside its internal set of control tools or for an annual recalibration. To meet DIN ISO 9000 (quality assurance) a laboratory calibration (including calibration documentation) or a verification can be performed . |
