10、under the direction of the Clothing Standards Committee. It supersedes the1970 edition which is now withdrawn. The information in this standard is taken from five international standards ISO3636:1977, ISO3637:1977, ISO3638:1977, ISO4415:1981 and ISO4416:1981, published by the International Organizat
11、ion for Standardization (ISO) and developed by ISO/TC133, Sizing systems and designations for clothes. Details on height intervals (see clause6) and recommendations on the inclusion of approximate age, which do not appear in the international standards, are included. This is the third edition of thi
12、s British Standard. For many years it has been agreed that body measurements should form the basis of a size labelling scheme, and such details were included in tabular form in both previous editions. When considering the present revision, however, the committee responsible chose not to retain the t
13、able of body measurements, first, because the measurements are known to be outdated and, secondly, because such detailed measurements are not required for size designation purposes. In addition to body measurements the approximate age of the child was asked for on labels and so to help manufacturers
14、 this was included in the table of body measurements in the first two editions. Its retention in the present edition was strongly supported by the National Childrens Wear Association because many garments are purchased without the children being present. The details of mens and womens garments cover
15、ed in the five international standards listed above are given in BS6185 and BS3666 respectively. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard doe
16、s not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to8, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This w
17、ill be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3728:1982 BSI 07-1999 1 0 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 ot
18、her British Standards in this series, is the establishment of a size designation system that indicates (in a simple, direct and meaningful manner) the body size of the child or infant that a garment is intended to fit. Provided that the shape of the childs or infants body (as indicated by the approp
19、riate dimensions) has been accurately determined this system will facilitate the choice of garments that fit. The size designation system is based on body and not garment dimensions. Choice of garment measurements is normally left to the designer and the manufacturer, who are concerned with style, c
20、ut and other fashion elements, and who must make due allowance for garments normally worn beneath a specific garment. 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 designatin
21、g the sizes of childrens and infants garments that are classified as: a) covering the upper body only, or b) covering the lower body only, or c) covering the whole body. 1) Both the control dimensions on which the size designation system is based, and the method of indicating the size designation on
22、 a garment label, are specified. It is recognized that height is the basic control measurement for all infants and childrens garments and to aid users of this standard agreed height intervals are included. 2 References The titles of the standards publications referred to in this standard are listed
23、on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the definitions given in BS5511, together with the following, apply. 3.1 girl a female person whose growth in height is not yet finished 3.2 boy a male person whose growth in height is not yet finished 3.3 infant a ma
24、le or female person of height104cm or less 4 Control dimensions 4.1 Infants. The control dimensions for all garments shall be height. 4.2 Girls 4.2.1 Underwear (including nightwear, foundation garments and shirts).

25、 only b) Girls garments covering the whole body 1) Bust girth 2) Hip girth 3) Height c) Girls garments covering the lower body only 4.2.2 Outerwear (including knitwear and swimwear). The control dimensions shall be as follows. a) Girls garments covering the upper or the whole body 1) Examples of gar

28、. a) Boys garments covering the upper body only 4.3.2 Outerwear (including knitwear and swim wear). The control dimensions shall be as follows. a) Boys garments covering the upper or the whole body b) Boys garments covering the lower body only 5 Size designation 5.1 The size designation of each garm
29、ent shall comprise the control dimensions (see clause4), in centimetres, of the intended wearer of that garment. Where practicable, the standard or the special pictogram, as given in BS5511, should be used as a means of indicating the size designation. Where it is not practicable to use the pictogra
30、m, the control measurements shall be given together with the descriptive words such as bust girth, chest girth, hip 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
31、only one or two of the applicable control dimensions; b) size designations shown as a range by stating the minimum and maximum control measurements separated by an oblique stroke or a hyphen. 5.2 Garment measurements shall not be incorporated in the size designation but, where considered of value, g
32、arment measurements may be indicated separately (see 7.3). 6 Height intervals The basic control measurement for all infants and childrens garments is height. The height interval used for labelling purposes shall be6cm, based on the specified fixed point of104cm, e.g.98,104,110 etc. 7 Labelling 7.1 M
33、ethod. 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 discernible. 7.2 Attachment.
34、 The label or swing ticket shall be capable of being securely attached to the garment and so positioned as to be easily readable. 7.3 Additional information. Information additional to the size designation may be separately indicated on the label, or on the swing ticket, or on both, provided that it
35、does not in any way reduce the prominence and conspicuousness of the size designation. Such additional information may include approximate age, body measurements or garment measurements considered to constitute useful information. 7.4 Examples of labels. The examples of labels given in Figure 1 to F
36、igure 5 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. Where the size designation is supplemented by additional information,
37、 separation of the two, as illustrated, renders this readily recognizable as being part of an adopted system of size designation.
