15、 the size designation of clothing, and is not directly concerned with sizing systems as such. The primary aim of this and other International 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 pe
16、rson that a garment is intended to fit. Provided that the shape of the persons body 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 measurements. Choice of garment measurements is normally left
17、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 outer garment or accessory. Definitions and body measurement procedure are prescribed in ISO 3635, which is applicable to
18、all categories of clothing. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard establishes a system of designating the sizes of headwear. 2 Reference This International Standard should be read in conjunction with the following International Standard: ISO 3635, Size designation of clothes D
19、efinitions and body measurement procedure. 3 Control dimension The control dimension for headwear shall be: Head girth 4 Size designation 4.1 The size designation shall comprise the control dimension (see clause 3), in centimetres, of the intended wearer. Where practicable, the standard pictogram, a
20、s given in ISO 3635, should be used as a means of indicating the size designation. Where it is not practicable to use the standard pictogram, the control measurement shall be given, together with the statement of that dimension. NOTEThe above requirements shall not preclude the use, as specified by
21、the national standards organization concerned, of size designations shown as a range by stating the minimum and maximum control measurements separated by an oblique stroke or a hyphen. 4.2 Measurements of headwear items shall not be incorporated in the size designation but, where considered of value
22、, they may be indicated separately (see 5.3). 5 Labelling 5.1 Method The size designation of each headwear item shall be indicated clearly, conspicuously and in plainly legible form on a label, or on a swing ticket, or on both. Pictograms shall be large enough to ensure immediate understanding and n
23、umerals shall, in all cases, be readily discernible. 5.2 Attachment The label or swing ticket shall be securely attached to the headwear item and so positioned as to be easily readable. 5.3 Additional information Information additional to the size designation may be separately indicated on the label
24、, or on the swing ticket, or 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 or additional measurements considered to constitute useful information. 5.4 Examples of labels The
25、examples of labels given in the figure illustrate methods of labelling that range from the simple indication on the standard pictogram of the relevant control dimension to more elaborate forms that provide additional information, such as a size code number. Where the size designation is supplemented
26、 by a size code number, separation of the two, as illustrated, renders the size code number readily recognizable as being part of a system of size designation adopted by a national or limited population group only.BS5592:1978 2 BSI 10-1999 1) Example of additional information included in accordance
