14、he Secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2001. It is
15、 one of a series of standards being prepared describing the size designation of clothes.

16、248243) It is related to ISO 3635:1981; prEN ISO 3635:1996 was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure (UAP) in CEN on 1996-10-24. Since the result of the UAP was negative, CEN/TC 248 examined the reasons for negative votes and modified the ISO Standard to suit the European needs. This European
17、 Standard is the result of this work. Additional dimensions for garment construction are standardized in ISO 8559 see Annex A (informative). This standard includes a Bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are b

19、tandard is intended as a reference document to be consulted in conjunction with the European Standard for the size designation of clothes applicable to the garment under consideration. 1 Scope This European Standard defines body dimensions for garments, specifies a procedure for measuring the body a
20、nd gives pictograms to be used on garment labels. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
21、dated references, subsequent amendments or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publications referred to applies (including amendments). prEN 13402-2, Size design

23、eparation, at enquiry stage with number prEN 13764) 3.2 secondary dimension body measurement, in centimetres, or, in the case of pantyhose, body mass (kg), that may additionally be used in designating the size of a garment (see prEN 13402-2, in preparation, at enquiry stage with number prEN 13764)Pa

25、e underbust girth dimension NOTE 1 The standard pictogram and the modified pictogram are shown below in their basic forms, i.e. without the numerals used for labelling. For uniformity of presentation, girth measurements should be shown on the left hand side and length measurements on the right hand
26、side of pictograms. NOTE 2 The minimum size of the pictogram is not specified but it should be large enough to convey immediate understanding and allow the use of readily legible numerals. NOTE 3 The recommended type for use on pictograms is UNIVERS 55, as used in the European Standard for the relev
27、ant size designation. NOTE 4 The pictogram provides information only and does not give the technical information on how the measurement is to be made. The measuring position is provided in 3.5 to 3.17. Modified pictogramPage 5 EN 13402-1:2001 BSI 05-2001 Definition Pictogram Measuring position 3.5 h

Foot length and width are measured in millimetres with the subject wearing hose appropriate to the type of boot or shoe. 4 Measurement o
37、f body dimensions 4.1 Apparatus 4.1.1 Measuring stand (anthropometer, somatometer), consisting essentially of a rule, graduated in centimetres,vertically mounted and with a movable arm (cursor). 4.1.2Dimensionally stable tape-measure, of width approximately 15 mm and graduated in centimetres. 4.1.3
38、Balance suitable for measuring body mass. 4.2 Procedure If practicable, measure the body in the unclothed state. If this is impracticable (for example, if measurements are made at the point of sale), ensure that the measurements are taken over as few clothes as possible and that these garments do no
39、t seriously affect the body shape or interfere with the taking of accurate measurements. When determining bust girth, measure over a brassiere that shall not deform the breast in an unnatural way and shall not displace its volume (see also ISO 8559). Use the measuring stand (see 4.1.1) to measure th
40、e height of all persons other than infants not yet able to stand upright. Use the tape-measure (see 4.1.2) to measure all other dimensions as well as the height of infants not yet able to stand upright. Apply moderate tension to the tape-measure (but ensure that the body is not constricted by the ta
41、pe) and take each measurement “rounded up” to the next centimetre, except where mm are needed, e. g. foot and hand. Use the balance (see 4.1.3) to measure the body mass. Take measurements of all the primary dimensions specified in the European Standard for the size designation of the garment concern
42、ed. Other methods of measuring the body, such as biostereometry, photogrammetry scanning and other technologies, may be used, provided they are at least as accurate as the method prescribed.Page 9 EN 13402-1:2001 BSI 05-2001 Bibliography ISO 4418, Size designation of clothes Gloves ISO 8559, Garment
