(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 acceptable SI units or inch-pound units shall 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.

INTRODUCTION
These tables were developed from data published by the U.S. Department of Commerce.These data
2
were based on original research conducted by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture in the 1930s. This
standard takes into consideration infants’growth patterns reflected in the 1980 charts for the National
3
Center for Health Statistics, the 1977Anthropometric Study of U.S. Infants and Children conducted
4 5
by the University of Michigan, and the 2000 CDC Growth Charts for the United States. All sudden
shifts of proportion have been eliminated so as to reflect the gradual growth and development of the
infant. To verify the proposed body measurements, a limited sampling of infants was measured and
fitted with garments made as directed in these tables.
