Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is 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 part 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 particular 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 document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This document was prepared by ISO/TC 133, Clothing sizing systems — Size designation, size measurement methods and digital fittings.

Introduction

This document is intended to serve as a global reference document for defining the key and common measurement points of a garment and the methodology to be used to measure garments, as well as to facilitate the maintenance of garment measurements and aid reduction of discrepancies in the product life cycle.

The points of garment measurements can be useful for (non exhaustive list):

—

creation of table of measurements;

—

developments of garment prototypes;

—

stages of sample approval;

—

production control;

—

garment inspection and quality control;

—

testing houses (e.g. determination of dimensional change of garments).

3.1

side neck point

SNP

position on the garment where the garment body intersects with the side of the neck

Note 1 to entry: Side neck point does not include any neck trim, collar or hood.

Note 2 to entry: “Side neck point” is known also as High Point Shoulder, HPS.

3.2

from the invisible line

FIL

imaginary line taken between two points

Note 1 to entry: It is used to determine an exact position of a measurement to be taken.

3.3

centre front

vertical intersection that is centrally positioned on the front of a garment

3.4

centre back

vertical intersection that is centrally positioned on the back of a garment

3.5

required position

position of a point specified by the interested party, as input data, prior to measuring

Note 1 to entry: If a required position is not specified, the selected measurements cannot be carried out.

Note 2 to entry: A measurement based on a required position is identified by a code beginning with “Z” in Tables.
