Q: I I have an a ASI baby changing station. We are mounting it into a wall with metal studs. Should we use self tapping screws to go into the metal studs. What are the screws size that we need
A: You would only install this down to a wall that has been thoroughly reinforced with wood or some other material appropriate for the application.
Q: So in your opinion the metal studs behind the wall or not strong enough to support the baby changing station? Can wall anchors be used in the sheet rock without actually going into the studs? What is the Recommended mounting instructions for metal studs? Hmm It seems that most of the commercial buildings around here are framed with metal studs.
A: Obviously you can install it that way however the problem is deviating from the manufacturers published installation instructions which can be reviewed on page 2 here:

When they mention wall studs they are certainly mentioning wood studs and not metal studs. There are no guidelines published for metal studs.
I am sure that there are ways to devise this so that it will be suitably reinforced to very safely install the baby changing station however my short version answer is that the wall must be opened up and properly reinforced so as to dependably hold the baby changing station at its maximum possible weight usage.
Framing the walls with metal studs is certainly not a problem the problem is not reinforcing the walls to receive the intended and scheduled equipment during the construction phase. I would have slid the wood studs inside of the metal studs in those areas and then I would drill directly through the baby changing station at its mounting points into the studs but at that point you would be of course sinking it into the 3-1/2" thick wood portion of the stud.
