To ensure you take reliable measurements using body weight scales you must:
1. Zero the scales before the client steps onto them
2. Ask the client to remove any ‘heavy’ items from their pockets (key’s, wallets etc) and remove any heavy items of clothing or apparel (big jackets, shoes, woollen jerseys etc)
3. Ensure you note the clients state and time of day for testing to ensure any subsequent tests can be taken under identical conditions (check state of hydration, food consumed recently etc)
4. When measuring weight – ask client to look straight ahead and stay still on the scales.  Wait for the needle/digital screen to settle before recording the measurement
