ASTM D4910-02
(Specification)Standard Tables of Body Measurements for Infants, Sizes 0 to 24
Standard Tables of Body Measurements for Infants, Sizes 0 to 24
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
