Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis is a technique used for estimating body composition. With BIA you can get a quick overview of the water and fat percentage in a body. It's a fast and safe technique that's become very popular to its ease of use. Tanita offers a variety of accurate weighing scales that alle make use of the bioelectrical impedance analysis. Together with a very smart algorithm and years of experience Tanita offers very accurate body monitors. These weighing scales are used world wide by consumers and professionals to do an bioelectrical impedance analysis of their body composition.

All Tanita body composition monitors use advanced Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis technology. When you stand on a Tanita monitor, a very low, safe electrical signal is sent from four metal electrodes through your feet to your legs and abdomen. In segmental models, the four hand-held electrodes will provide extra readings for each leg, arm and abdominal area.

There are several reasons why Tanita's BIA technology is superior to anything else on the market:

Tanita Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis monitors have been more extensively validated against alternative body composition techniques than any other brand of monitor on the market. In addition, Tanita body composition monitors have been used in independent research studies which have highlighted Tanita as the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis the most clinically accurate compared to other products. Tanita's Medical Advisory Board and its extensive network of scientific experts ensure Tanita remains at the forefront of scientific advances.

Accurate weight measurements ensure the highest body composition measurement accuracy. Tanita prides itself on manufacturing precise weighing mechanisms for both home-use and professional models that guarantee accuracy to the nearest 50g or 100g. Only Tanita has achieved Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments (NAWI) certification, Class III Medical Devices compliance (MDD III) and European Conformity (CE) approval, ensuring the highest standards are met.
