Ergonomics - Demands and availability of anthropometric and strength data of children in Europe

This document contains guidance on identifying current (since 2000) reliable anthropometric and strength data sources for European population under the age of 18 years.
It is intended that this Technical Report will give guidance to the stake holders such as the standard makers, designers and manufacturers of products and environments for children on how to identify which currently available anthropometric data sources that are relevant to their needs in terms of age/gender groupings, types of anthropometric data.  This technical report can also indicate the lack of data for specific applications hence implicitly indicating caution for the stake holders
This document also provides information about the anthropometric data sources listed within it. This information includes:
-   Date of survey
-   Organisation who carried out the survey
-   Geographic limitations of the survey
-   Size and gender of the population measured or scanned
-   Types of anthropometric measurements included in them
This Technical Report has two annexes

Introduction
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has carried out, within CEN/TC 122 “Ergonomics” a
project to acquire anthropometric and strength data of children in Europe, initiated by the lack of
published data. These data have to be current and reliable being the basis for the safety, comfort and
usability of products used for or with children. From the economic point of view, they are the prerequisite
for a successful position of European stakeholders on the international market.
At present, there is no sufficient knowledge neither on the existing anthropometric data and its
availability nor on the specific demand of data from the relevant stakeholders. Therefore, the project has
been divided in two phases. This technical report is a consequence of the results of the first phase of the
project entitled “Analysis of the Demand and Availability of anthropometric data of children in Europe”.
This first phase of the project included an extensive research on the demands, necessity and existence of
Anthropometric and Strength data of European population under 18 years old. Background information
and summary of this research project is provided in Clauses 4 to 8 of this Technical Report.

1 Scope
This document contains guidance on identifying reliable sources of anthropometric and strength data
published since 2000 for the European population under the age of 18 years. It does not contain the
anthropometric data itself.
This document is intended to give guidance to the stakeholders such as the standard writers, designers
and manufacturers of products for children on how to identify currently available sources of
anthropometric data that are relevant to their needs in terms of age/gender groupings, types of
anthropometric data. This document also identifies the lack of data for specific applications hence
implicitly indicating caution for the stakeholders
This document also provides information about the sources of anthropometric data listed within it. This
information includes:
— Date of survey;
— Organization who carried out the survey;
— Geographic limitations of the survey;
— Size and gender of the population measured or scanned;
— Types of anthropometric measurements included in them.
This document has two annexes
— Annex A: Definition of body measurements;
— Annex B: Existing data sources.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
4 Background of the project
Experts involved in several CEN Technical Committees (CEN/TC) and working for the standardization
projects related to childcare products, toys and articles used by and for children have identified and
emphasized the need of having precise and relevant up-to-date anthropometric data, related to the use
of this kind of products.
Availability of correct anthropometric data and the use of updated data are important due to the changes
in body measures and physical strengths of children along the past 30 years and no European-wide
collection of data has been recently conducted to fill the gap in this population.

5 Description of the project
In order to describe the current scenario of anthropometric data of children in Europe, the first phase of
the project comprised the following aims:
1. Research on the existence, quality and availability of anthropometric data of children in Europe.
2. Research on the demands from relevant stakeholders on anthropometric data of children with regard
to the application of anthropometric data.
3. Comparison of the existence/availability of, and the demands for anthropometric data in order to
identify the gap between available data and demands concerning their application.
6 Anthropometric data needed by the stakeholders
6.1 General
The demands on anthropometric data has been explored using an online questionnaire that has been sent
to a long list of stakeholders with needs of children anthropometric and strength data. The stakeholders
that have answered the questionnaire were distributed along different groups whose professional
activity is related with the design, evaluation and/or commercialization of products for children. A set of
workshops and individual interviews were also performed in order to obtain more detailed information
about the demands on children anthropometry and strengths.
Finally, 251 participants from 204 organizations, institutions and companies answered the
questionnaire and 20 participants from 18 organizations, institutions and companies have
participated in the workshops and interviews.
The charts below show the profile of the participants in the questionnaires. Figure 1 shows the number
of participants in the survey shorted by professional profile. The stakeholders that have filled out the
questionnaire mainly belong to the areas of industry (designer/product developer and quality expert),
standardization and research. In addition, some participants belong to other areas of industry
(marketing, sales, and management) and the areas of laboratories, representative bodies of sector
(industrial associations) and consumer associations.

The 28 participants in the workshops and interviews are mainly from areas of the Industry
(Designer/Product developer) and Research laboratories/Universities (21 %), but also others from the
Standardization and Consumer associations (6 %), R&D departments or associations of the Industry
(3 %) and Certification laboratories (4 %) have participated.

Figure 3 — Workshops and Interviews: Participation by sector
The measurements, sorted by sector and kind of measurement or part of the body, that are relevant for
the participants in the questionnaires, workshops and interviews are shown in the following sections.
The colour of the cell is related with the importance of the measurement for the sector. Therefore:
— Measurements in green colour are highlighted by 50 % of the respondents of the questionnaires and
the participants in the workshops consider them highly relevant.
— Measurements in yellow colour are highlighted by 25 % of the respondents of the questionnaires and
the participants in the workshops consider them relevant.
— Measurements in white colour were not mentioned as relevant or necessary for the sector.
The description and illustrations of the measurements are included in the Annex A.
