2、:2013, which is withdrawn.BSI, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 13402-3:2017 as a British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this European Standard, the UK committee voted against its approval.The UK Committee voted against the approval of EN

3、 13402-3 as a European Standard for the following reasons: The UK Committee supports the need to replace the existing EN 13402-3, Size Designation of Clothes, Body Measurements and intervals, but disagrees with the title change from Size designation of clothes, Body measurements and intervals to Siz

4、e designation of clothes Part 3: Size labelling based on body measurements and intervals. The principle of the standard is that it provides a new flexible sizing system with a wider range of intervals, which will allow manufacturers and retailers to select intervals that more closely represent their

5、 traditional practice. For the UK, the opportunity for companies to create their own size range, pictogram and labelling information from their own measurement size tables with 5 cm intervals should make this standard more useful. However, the UK committee is of the opinion that the change of title

6、to include the words Size Labelling is misleading, as the Standard deals with size designation, not size labelling requirements. In addition, the Committee is concerned that this could lead to the Standard being drawn under EU Regulation 1007/2001 on textile fibre names and related labelling and mar

7、king of the fibre composition of textile products. Any attempt to make the content of EN 13402-3 mandatory would have a significant and negative impact on the UK clothing industry.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee TCI/66/-/3, Clothing sizing systems.A list

33、the United Kingdom. BS EN 13402-3:2017EN 13402-3:2017 (E) 4 Introduction Currently, across Europe, several different systems are used for the size designation and labelling of clothes. This is confusing for consumers and creates inefficiencies across the supply chain. The objective intention is to h

34、armonize and simplify the size labelling of clothes for the benefit of consumers and the industry generally. In order to size mass-produced clothes, the body size of the intended wearer needs to be defined and identified. In order to communicate the size of a garment clearly and visibly, a pictogram

35、 is used together with body size ranges of the intended wearer. Within this document, the values and intervals are provided for reference purposes as examples of best practice and have been adjusted taking into account the latest sizing surveys carried out in Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, R

36、omania, Spain and Sweden. BS EN 13402-3:2017EN 13402-3:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes a flexible sizing system based on body dimensions and the related size labelling information for consumers, by the use of a standard pictogram. Examples of labelling clothing with the standard

37、pictogram (see EN 13402-1) are given in Clause 5 in this document. Examples of tables for body measurements and intervals are given in Annex A (informative) to be used for compiling garment sizes for men, women, boys, girls and infants. Garment dimensions are not contained in this document. 2 Normat

SOURCE: EN 13402-1:2001, 3.1, modified 3.2 secondary dimension body measurement, in centimetres, or in the case of tights, body mass (kilograms) that may additionally be used in designating the size of a garment for the consumer Note 1 to entry: Alternative

40、 measuring systems may replace metric system where relevant. Note 2 to entry: Tights refers to pantyhose in EN 134021 and EN 134022.

43、anumeric characters 4 Measurements and intervals 4.1 General The body measurements and the intervals for primary dimensions for size designation (see EN 13402-2) are given for men, women, boys, girls and infants. In addition, the secondary dimensions (see EN 13402-2) are given with the possibilities

44、 for a country/company to apply when needed. The possibilities are shown in the tables horizontally for each primary dimension value and vertically for each secondary dimension value. The link between the primary and secondary dimensions is flexible in order to cover different target groups or speci

45、fic morphological features of countries. Examples of measurements and intervals are given in the tables in Annex A (informative) in this document. Examples of pictograms to be used for labelling clothing (see EN 13402-1) are shown in Clause 5. 4.2 Intervals Intervals listed in the tables of Annex A

46、define the differences between two adjoining body measurements. 4.3 Range Range is calculated by using one half plus or half minus the interval from the primary or secondary dimension measurement. If the interval is 1,5 cm or less no range will be shown in the pictogram. Note for odd numbers a gap b

47、etween ranges can occur if whole numbers are used. If the interval is less than 2 cm no range will be shown in the pictogram, only the centre of the range will be shown. 4.4 Combination between primary and secondary dimensions The flexibility of the standard sizing system allows each country/company

48、 freely to combine different body dimensions according to its requirements. To achieve flexibility, between the primary and secondary dimensions, examples of alternatives are defined in Annex A.

49、am 5.1 General This standard provides the flexibility to cover all body shapes and garment types. The pictogram should be labelled with size designation, primary/and or secondary dimensions. Companies create the pictogram from their own body measurement tables (see example tables in the Annex A). The information of size shall be provided at the point of sales with the standard pictogram or similar graphic image. Information related to the range(s) of body dimension(s) has to be provided.
