measured out (in order to be kit out)

Without further context, the only meaning I can get is from DRAE, "tallar" 3. tr. Medir la estatura de alguien.

Most likely a recruit, or someone who needs tailored clothes.

A little bit more context would assist to help you better, but I don't know of any other meaning that "tallado" (p. participle of "tallar") could have here.

¡Saludos cordiales! :-)

Sorry, I meant to write "to be kitted out", as in getting fitting clothes.

Definition 2 in the Oxford bilingual confirms this idea:

Also, Reverso gives a couple of examples with "kitted out", which would most likely be the purpose of "measuring up" D. XXX...

Unless they measure his bone strutures for the purposes of operation or something less casual and pleasant as getting clothes...

As noted, context is of the essence!

Thank you very much, Charles. :-) As Protagoras would say, "Man is the measure of all things: of the things that are, that they are, of the things that are not, that they are not." ;-)

assessed

There isn't a lot of context, as John says, but I understand that this is about a traffic accident report and the minor is taken to a medical facility. I have found tallar as a synonym of the following:
tallar
valorar, tasar, evaluar, entallar
http://www.sinonimia.net/sinonimos/busqueda-palabras/valorar...

From the context, it's a possibility that "que el menor fuera tallado" just means that the instructor insisted/urged that the minor be assessed.
Example sentence:

If you’ve been injured in the accident you need to be assessed by a doctor as soon as possible after the incident

have his/her height measured.

I have often encountered "talla" for "height" on a medical report.
