7、ndment No. 1. Preface This code of practice has been prepared under the direction of the SABS Clothing Committee. The technical content is identical (with the exception of subsection 2.4.1) to the corresponding parts of ISO 3635, Size designation of clothes Definitions and body measurement procedure
8、. This code provides the definitions for and methods of body measurement on which are based a series of specifications that deal essentially with the size designation of clothes, and that are not directly concerned with sizing systems as such.

10、 procedure for measuring the body. 2 Definitions 2.1 For the purposes of this code the following definition shall apply: control dimensions the body dimensions, in centimetres, on which a sizing system is built, and that are used to assign an appropriately sized garment to a wearer 2.2 Girth Measuri
11、ng position 2.2.1 Bust The maximum horizontal girth measured during normal breathing with the subject standing erect and the tape-measure passed over the shoulder blades (scapulae), under the armpits (axillae), and across thebust prominence. 2.2.2 Chest The maximum horizontal girth measured during n
12、ormal breathing with the subject standing erect and the tape-measure passed over the shoulderblades (scapulae), under the armpits (axillae), and across the chest. SANS 10184:2008 Edition 1.1 4 Measuring position 2.2.3 Hand The maximum girth over the knuckles (metacarpals) of the open hand, fingers t
13、ogether and thumb extended. 2.2.4 Head The maximum horizontal girth of the head measured above the ears. 2.2.5 Hip The horizontal girth measured round the buttocks at the level of maximum circumference. 2.2.6 Neck The girth of the neck measured with the tape-measure passed 2 cm below the Adams apple
14、 and at the level of the seventh cervical vertebra.2.2.7 Underbust The horizontal girth of the body just below the breasts. SANS 10184:2008 Edition 1.1 5 Measuring position 2.2.8 Waist The girth of the natural waistline between the top of the hip bones (iliac crests) and the lower ribs, measured wit
15、h the subject breathing normallyand standing erect with the abdomen relaxed. 2.3 Height 2.3.1 Infants not yet able to stand upright The length of the body measured in a straight line from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet. 2.3.2 Subjects other than infants The vertical distance between
16、the crown of the head and the soles ofthe feet, measured with the subject standing erect without shoes and with the feet together. SANS 10184:2008 Edition 1.1 6 Measuring position 2.4 Length 2.4.1 Arm The distance from the seventh cervical vertebra over the top of theshoulder (acromion) to the extre
17、mity of the wrist bone (outer point of cubitus), measured with the subject standing erect with the arm extended horizontally sideways and bent forward to form a right angle at theelbow. 2.4.2 Foot The horizontal distance between perpendiculars in contact with the end of the most prominent toe and th
18、e most prominent part of the heel, measured with the subject standing barefoot and the weight of the bodyequally distributed on both feet. 2.4.3 Hand The distance between the first crease at the base of the right hand andthe tip of the middle finger, measured with the lower arm in line with theopen
19、hand and with the fingers together and thumb extended. 2.4.4 Inside leg The distance between the crotch and the soles of the feet, measured in a straight line with the subject erect, feet slightly apart, and the weight ofthe body equally distributed on both legs. SANS 10184:2008 Edition 1.1 7 Measur
20、ing position 2.4.5 Outside leg The distance from the waist to the ground, measured with the tape-measure following the contour of the hip. 3 Measurement of body dimensions 3.1 Apparatus a) Measuring stand (anthropometer, somatometer), consisting essentially of a rule, graduated in centimetres, verti
21、cally mounted and with a movable arm (cursor). b) Tape-measure. A dimensionally stable tape-measure, of width approximately 15 mm and accurately graduated in centimetres. 3.2 Procedure a) If practicable, measure the body in the unclothed state. If this is impracticable (for example, if measurements
22、are made at the point of sale), ensure that the measurements are taken over as few clothes as possible and that these garments do not seriously affect the body shape or interfere with the taking of accurate measurements. When determining bust girth, measure over an unpadded brassiere that fits exact
23、ly, is of thin material, and does not contain metal or other supports. b) Use the measuring stand to measure the height of all persons other than infants not yet able to stand upright. Use the tape-measure to measure all other dimensions as well as the height of infants not yet able to stand upright
24、. Apply moderate tension to the tape-measure (but ensure that the body is not constricted by the tape) and take each measurement “rounded up“ to the next centimetre. Take measurements of each control dimension specified in the relevant specification for the size designation of the garment concerned. NOTE Other methods of measuring the body, such as biostereometry and photogrammetry, may be used provided that they are at least as accurate as the method prescribed above. Standards South Africa
