The Company

Established in 1862, H Fereday & Sons take pride in building scales to give a lifetime of accurate weighing.

The Products

The WEYLUX and WEYMED ranges include scales for weighing adults, babies, young children and mobile weighers for seated patients. These are detailed in the three product brochures. WEYLUX and WEYMED scales are designed to give many years of hard use whilst maintaining accuracy. They are beautifully finished in a hard wearing enamel.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

This facility is incorporated in both the adult and baby/child scales. BMI is medically recognised as a prime measure of obesity and healthy weight. The WEYLUX and WEYMED BMI functions are uniquely designed to be simply accessed.

Regulations and Quality Standards

It is a legal requirement that all weighing scales used for medical purposes must conform with the European Directive 90/384/EEC and the associated Regulations. WEYLUX and WEYMED scales are accordingly fully approved and verified. Additionally they are manufactured to a certified 1S0 9001 quality system.

Accuracy Standards

All WEYLUX and WEYMED medical scales are calibrated to the higher accuracy Class III Standard which is a necessity for accurate weighing.

Dual Reading

Only kg/g units are now legally prescribed by the Regulations for medical weighing. But scales additionally reading in stones/lb/oz may be used for non-medical weighing - for example in slimming clubs, fitness centres and pharmacies. All WEYLUX scales are optionally available dual reading for non-medical use.
