Introduction
In order to size mass-produced clothes, the body size of the intended wearer has to be defined and identified with
the nearest size on a table of standard sizes. In this system, the body size is defined by scales of the appropriate
primary and, where necessary, secondary dimensions, using preferred numbers. A good degree of standardization
is achieved by the establishment of open-ended size scales with fixed intervals in at least the primary dimension for
each garment type. Where body shape is characterised by a number of girth dimensions and height, the primary
dimension is placed on a size table, while the secondary dimensions are variables. The nearest whole number in
the tables for that dimension is used for purposes of size designation.
The tables of measures as described in this document constitute a first attempt at the grouping of body sizes
appropriate to the European population. Body measurement tables are readily compiled from this information. It is
necessary to use an open system with inbuilt flexibility, because body shape and proportions for any one
population group varies. As the results of the sizing surveys of the different countries vary, the tables in this
document provide the required flexibility.

Dimensions in centimetres
In order to accommodate variations in height by country/company, a system with 4 cm or 8 cm intervals for men is standardized, which means that a country/company
may select any height from Tables 1 and 2 with a range that may be extended to the left and right of Tables1 and 2 (see Annex A, Figure A.1).

4.1.2
Intervals
Intervals listed in the tables define the differences between two adjoining body measurements.
4.1.3
Range
Range is calculated by using one half plus or half minus the interval from the primary or secondary dimension
measurement. If the interval is 1,5 cm or less no range will be shown in the pictogram. All ranges on the
pictogram will be rounded down to whole numbers. In case of weights, the range is shown in whole numbers.
EXAMPLE
For a height of 156 cm the range is 154 cm to 158 cm (see Table 3).

Flexible link between chest/waist and waist/hip measurements for men
General
The standard sizing system allows each country/company freely to combine chest and waist measurements
and waist and hip measurement according to its requirements. To attain the required flexibility, correlated to
the primary measurements chest or waist, a range of alternatives are defined which are possible to combine.
The alternatives are differentiated by coding with letters: Table 4 provides 14 alternatives named from C to Q
(except I and O) for waist; Table 8 provides 8 alternatives named from C to K (except I and O) for waist and
hip.
The alternatives could for instance be expanded to an alternative A for smaller waists/hips and from K/k to
O/o for larger hips.
The flexibility of the system allows by combining different hip and waist alternatives to build up the individual
figure types of each country/company. It is also possible to change the alternatives between the sizes (see
examples in Table 4).
During one alternative, the drop type changes, because the intervals for chest and waist are different from
chest 108 cm.
4.1.4.2
Flexible use of chest-waist values for various drops
Countries/companies may wish to use a choice of chest and waist girth measurements for drop type minus
12, which have the above shown choices of chest and waist (drop minus 12 cm is the difference between
chest and waist).
4.1.4.3
Flexible link between waist and hip girth measurements for men
For products like trousers, which cover the lower body, waist is the primary measurement and defines the
size. To determine differentiations between various figure types, hip as secondary measurement is required.
Table 8 contains a range of alternatives, which allows defining the whole range of individual figure types of
different countries or companies.
The alternatives are to use as shown by the examples in Table 5.

4.1.4.4
Flexible link between neck and chest girth measurements for men
Neck is the primary measurement for men’s shirts. Table 6 shows five different alternatives for neck/chest
combinations. The alternatives allow the flexible use of neck/chest combinations for each country/company.
The alternatives are expandable down to alternative A and up to alternative K for instance. The principle of
flexible use is the same as for choosing waist alternatives.
4.1.4.5
Alternatives of arm length in correlation to chest and body height for men
Table 7 contains a range of arm lengths related to neck girth. For each neck size, 12 alternatives are
available: C to O. The alternatives are expandable after the same systematic as the other measurements.
The correlation to neck is static between the different sizes. Nevertheless by changing the alternative for the
arm length, required flexibility is provided.
Alternative arm length relationships may be used other than those listed in Table 7.

4.2.1
General
The body measurements and their intervals for primary dimensions for size designation (see EN 13402-2) are
given for men, women, boys, girls and infants. In addition, the secondary dimensions (see EN 13402-2) are given
with possibilities for a country/company to apply if needed. The possibilities are shown in the tables vertically for
each primary dimension value and marked with letters in alphabetical order.
In order to accommodate variations in height by country/company, a system with 4 cm or 8 cm intervals for women
is standardized, which means that a country/company may select any height from Table 12 with a range that may
be extended to the left and right of Table 12 (see Annex A, Figure A.1).
For special kinds of clothing e.g. protective clothing, the appropriate size should be indicated by combining several
body size ranges.

Intervals
Intervals listed in the tables define the differences between two adjoining body measurements.
4.2.3
Range
Range is calculated by using one half plus or half minus the interval from the primary or secondary dimension
measurement. If the interval is 1,5 cm or less no range will be shown in the pictogram. All ranges in the pictogram
will be rounded down to whole numbers. In case of weights, the range is shown in whole numbers.
NOTE
EXAMPLE
For examples, see Tables 12 and 13.
For a height of 156 cm the range is 154 to 158 cm (see Table 14).

Flexible link between bust, waist and hip measurements for women
The standard sizing system allows each country/company freely to combine these three measurements according
to its requirements. To attain the required flexibility, correlated to the primary measurements bust or waist, a range
of alternatives are listed which are possible to combine. The alternatives are differentiated by coding with letters.
Tables 15 and 16 provide for hip and waist 8 alternatives named from C/c to K/k (except J/j).
EXAMPLE 1
hips/waists.
The alternatives could be expanded to an alternative A/a for smaller hips/waists and from K/k to O/o for larger
The flexibility of the system allows, by combining different hip and waist alternatives, the individual figure types of
each country/company to be built up. It is also possible to change the alternatives between the sizes (see
Tables 18 to 20).
