I IS0 8559 : 1989 (E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
3、through IS0 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, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 co
4、l- laborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all mat- ters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
5、 the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard IS0 8559 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 133, Sizing systems and designations for clothes. o IS0 1989 All rights reserved. No part of

8、tric surveys and for preparing patterns for garment manufacturing purposes is a list of appropriate body dimensions which are adequately defined. This International Standard is intended as a reference docu- ment comprising definitions for and the location of body dimensions used for garment construc
9、tion. The order of the vertical dimensions groups, firstly, those dimensions measured using the measuring stand and, sec- ondly, those dhensions measured using a tape-measure held against the body. NOTE - The apparatus and measurement methods referred to in the definitions are specified in clause 3.
10、 2.1 Horizontal dimensions 1 Scope and field of application 2.1.1 head girth : The maximum horizontal girth of the head measured above the ears (see figure 1). This International Standard defines the location Of body dimen- sions taken on anthropometric surveys and for the Preparation of garment pat
11、terns and garment stands, and Specifies a Stan- dard procedure for measuring the body. 2.1.2 neck girth : The girth of the neck measured using the tape-measure passed round below the Adams apple and at the level of the 7th cervical vertebra (see figure 1). The location and taking of body dimensions
12、appropriate to all items of clothing and accessories for all population groups are covered in this International Standard. The use of calipers and horizontally orientated anthropometers to determine width dimensions is excluded. Not all the body dimensions defined in this International Standard are
13、always necessary during anthropometric surveys or in the manufacture of clothes. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the definitions are presented in a natural sequence of measurement compris- ing the following three elements : a) b) vertical measurements; horizontal measu
14、rements (including girth) ; Head girth (2.1.1 ) Neck girth (2.1 .2) c) other measurements.
