New baby medical scales must comply with the Medical Weighing Regulations that came into effect on 1st January 2003. Most of the baby scales in this section are approved for medical use in UK surgeries, clinics, hospitals and care homes. As members of the UK Weighing Federation we will be happy to send you a copy of their factsheet giving guidance on the regulations - please email us if you would like a copy. (NB: Scales for use at home, in slimming and fitness clubs do not need to comply with these regulations - see our Health & Fitness Scales category).
