This document specifies a method to determine the amounts of dimethylformamide (DMF) in footwear
and footwear components containing polyurethane (PU) coated material.
NOTE 1 In the footwear industry, when PU is injected (reaction moulded), this process does not require the
use of DMF. For PU coated material, the use of DMF is possible.
NOTE 2 Several abbreviations can be used for dimethylformamide DMF, DMFa, DMFo. This document uses
DMF.

IEC 60335-2-28:2021 is available as IEC 60335-2-28:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60335-2-28:2021 deals with the safety of electric sewing machines for household and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Overlock machines and electrical sets are within the scope of this standard.
Appliances not intended for normal household use, but that nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as sewing machines intended to be used by laymen in shops and in light industry, are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
- persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
- children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
- for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
- in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
- appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
- appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002 and Amendment 1:2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text (Clause 1, 11.7, 22.14, 22.101);
c) clarification of requirements for battery-operated appliances (Clause 1, 3.1.9, 11.7, B.11.1);
d) introduction of limits on the temperature rise of external accessible surfaces (Clause 11);
e) application of test probe 19 has been introduced (8.1.1, 20.2).
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.

This document provides a description of anthropometric measurements that can be used as a basis for
the creation of physical and digital anthropometric databases. The list of measurements specified in
this document is intended to serve as a guide for practitioners in the field of clothing who are required
to apply their knowledge to select population market segments and to create size and shape profiles
for the development of all garment types and their equivalent fit mannequins. The list provides a
guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, as well as give information to clothing product
development teams and fit mannequin manufacturers on the principles of measurement and their
underlying anatomical and anthropometrical bases.
Annex A describes the use of the pictogram (standardized and modified) based on the selection of most
usual body dimensions used for clothing size designation.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with national, regional or international
regulations or agreements to ensure harmony in defining population groups and to allow comparison
of anthropometric data sets.

This document specifies primary and secondary dimensions for specified types of garments to be used
in combination with ISO 8559-1 (anthropometric definitions for body measurement).
The primary aim of this document is to establish a size designation system that can be used by
manufacturers and retailers to indicate to consumers (in a simple, direct and meaningful manner) the
body dimensions of the person that the garment is intended to fit. Provided that the size of the person’s
body (as indicated by the specified dimensions) has been determined in accordance with ISO 8559-1,
this designation system will facilitate the choice of garments that fit. This information can be indicated
by labelling, etc.
The size designation system is based on body measurements, not garment measurements. The choice
of garment measurements is normally determined by the designer and the manufacturers who make
appropriate allowances to accommodate the type and position of wear, style, cut and fashion elements
of the garment.
