13、 Introduction This British Standard is one of a series which deals essentially with the size designation of clothing, and is not directly concerned with sizing systems as such. The primary aim of this and other British Standards in this series, is the establishment of a size designation system that

14、indicates (in a simple, direct and meaningful manner) the body size of the man that a garment is intended to fit. Provided that the shape of his body (as indicated by the appropriate dimensions) has been accurately determined, this system will facilitate the choice of garments that fit. The size des

15、ignation of the system is based on body and not garment measurements. Choice of garment measurements is normally left to the designer and the manufacturer, who are concerned with style, cut and other fashion elements, and who must make due allowance for garments normally worn beneath a specific garm

16、ent. Definitions and body measurement procedure are prescribed in BS5511, which is applicable to all categories of clothing. 1 Scope This British Standard specifies a system of designating the sizes of mens garments that are classified as: a) covering the upper body only, or b) covering the lower bo

17、dy only, or c) covering the whole body, and it applies to civilian and uniform garments. 1) Both control dimensions on which the size designation system is based and the method of indicating the size designation on a garment label are specified. 2 References The titles of the publications referred t

18、o in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the definitions given in BS5511, together with the following, apply. man a male person whose growth in height is finished 4 Control dimensions 4.1 Outerwear (including knitwear and swimwea

19、r). The control dimensions shall be as follows. a) Mens garments covering the upper or the whole body b) Mens garments covering the lower body only 4.2 Underwear (including nightwear and shirts).

Where

21、practicable, the standard pictogram, as given in BS5511, should be used as a means of indicating the size designation. Where it is not practicable to use the standard pictogram, the numerical value of the control dimensions shall be given, together with the descriptive words such as chest girth, wai

22、st girth, etc.alongside, in the order in which they are given in clause4. NOTEThe above requirements do not preclude the use in exceptional instances of: a) size designations comprising only one or two of the applicable control dimensions; b) size designations shown as a range by stating the minimum

23、 and maximum control measurements separated by an oblique stroke or a hyphen. 1) Examples of garments covered by this British Standard are given inAppendix A.

25、e6.3). 6 Labelling 6.1 Method. The size designation of each garment shall be indicated clearly, conspicuously and in a plainly legible form on a label, or on a swing ticket, or on both. Pictograms shall be large enough to ensure immediate understanding and numerals shall, in all cases, be readily di

26、scernible. 6.2 Attachment. The label or swing ticket shall be capable of being securely attached to the garment and so positioned as to be easily readable. 6.3 Additional information. Information additional to the size designation may be separately indicated on the label, or on the swing ticket, or

27、on both, provided that it does not in any way reduce the prominence and conspicuousness of the size designation. Such additional information may include a size code number, body measurements, or garment measurements considered to constitute useful information. 6.4 Examples of labels. The examples of

28、 labels given inFigure 1 andFigure 2 illustrate methods of labelling that range from the simple indication on the standard pictogram of the relevant control dimensions to more elaborate forms that provide additional information such as a garment measurement.BS 6185:1982 BSI 03-1999 3 Appendix A Exam
