What Is A Class III Scale?
As the nature of different healthcare and medical tasks changes quite drastically, different weighing devices and scales are needed in order to provide accurate readings. For example, baby weighing scales used by midwifes are drastically different to wheelchair weighers used in care home environments.
In the United Kingdom, the Non Automatic Weighing Instruments Directive states that any scale which is utilised for “determination of mass in the practice of medicine for weighing patients for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis and medical treatment” must be Class III Approved; but what exactly does it mean to be Class III Approved?
In order to be considered Class III Approved, scales must undergo rigorous testing from an EU Notified Body. This testing is especially rigorous and is not carried out on standard ‘everyday weighing scales’. It is reserved for scales that require extreme levels of accuracy and repeatability. For example, in the healthcare field, it’s expected that if you weigh a patient then they step off and back on again, the reading should be the same both times. You can identify a Class II Approved scale by the ‘III’ logo on their dataplate.
