The work of preparing International Standards i
9、s normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take par
10、t in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particul
11、ar the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this

17、of dimensions; description of the methods of determining size designations from survey data; and indication of size designations for garment labelling.Examples of size designations are given in Annex B.NOTE Tights are sometimes called by other names, e.g. “pantyhose”. 2 Normative referencesThe follo

21、he primary dimension and hip girth and/or body mass as the secondary dimension;2) hip girth as the primary dimension and height as the secondary dimension.NOTE There is a close correlation between hip girth and body mass (see Annex A).Body measurements are determined in accordance with ISO 8559-1 an
22、d control dimensions in accordance with ISO 8559-2.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5971:2017(E) ISO 2017 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 5971:2017ISO 5971:2017(E)4.2 Survey dataThe size designation is obtained from a grid (see Annex B) having height and hip girth or height and body mass for co-ordinates.Each
23、 cell represents the fraction of population matching either both dimensions or height and body mass. A white empty cell means that it does not correspond to anybody or only to a very low percentage of people (for distribution of the population, see Annex A).By plotting the intended wearers height ag
24、ainst hip girth or body mass as presented on the grid, the appropriate size designation can be determined. The size designation may be indicated by colour, by number or by any other suitable means.Instead of using a detailed grid, a simpler chart may be provided to the consumer with a range of heigh
25、t/hip girth or height/body mass (see Annex B).The cartography and the number of sizes will differ from one supplier to another, as it will depend on the deformation behaviour and the extensibility of the product as well as on the intended market of wearers.4.3 Marking, labelling and packagingThe siz
26、e designation shall be indicated clearly, conspicuously and in a plainly identifiable form on the packaging or label.The labelling examples given in the different figures of Annex B illustrate methods of determining and indicating the size which is appropriate to the control dimensions of the intend
27、ed wearer.2 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 5971:2017ISO 5971:2017(E)Annex A (informative) RationaleTo build a grid, the first co-ordinate is usually the hip girth or the height (there is a close correlation between the height and the inside leg length).If the first dimension is the hip girth, th
28、e second one is the height.If the first dimension is the height, the second co-ordinate is either the hip girth or the body mass. A close correlation has been found between both. As the consumer is much more familiar with the body mass than the hip girth, the grids height/body mass are more commonly
29、 used on the market.EXAMPLE 1 Data from national or specific sizing surveys give the distribution of the population in the different cells of the grid (dimensions in centimetres):Height Hip girth76 80 84 88 92 96 100 104 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136 140 1441401431461491521551581611641671701731761

The number of different sizes within the grid often depends
33、on the extensibility of the product; when a more stretchy material is used the number of sizes required can be reduced.4 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 5971:2017ISO 5971:2017(E)Annex B (informative) Examples of size grids or tablesB.1 Examples with gridsB.1.1 GeneralDifferent sizes often follow
