The importance of respecting personal space during anthropometric measurements is highlighted. Next, the ethical considerations to bear in mind when performing anthropometric measurements are detailed.

Ethical and legal recommendations are offered, such as obtaining informed consent before performing measurements and ensuring that established ethical principles are followed. The requirements for the subjects to be measured are detailed, including appropriate clothing, skin care, and other considerations related to the comfort and privacy of the individual. In addition, recommendations for measurers when performing anthropometric measurements are presented, as well as issues to consider regarding language. The importance of adapting measurement techniques to ensure the safety and well-being of the evaluated individual is emphasised, always prioritising respect and ethics in all interactions.
