(Table)Standard Tables of Body Measurements for Children, Infant Sizes—Preemie to 24 Months
Standard Tables of Body Measurements for Children, Infant Sizes<span class='unicode'>—</span>Preemie to 24 Months
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The use of the body measurement information in Tables 1 and 2 will assist manufacturers in developing patterns and garments that are consistent with the current anthropometric characteristics of the population of interest. This practice should in turn reduce or minimize consumer confusion and dissatisfaction related to apparel sizing. (Also refer to ISO 3635 Size Designation Procedures.)
SCOPE
1.1 These tables list body measurements of infants’ sizes. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for infants in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type, ease for body movement, styling, and fit.
1.2 These tables list body measurements for the complete range of infant sizing.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
