EN 13402-3:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13402-3:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 248 “Textiles and textile products”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2005. The standard comprises four parts: Size designation of clothes Part 1: Terms, definitions and body measurement procedure Part 2: Primary and secondary dimensions Part 3: Measurements and intervals Part 4: Coding system According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

EN 13402-3:2004 (E) 4 Introduction In order to size mass-produced clothes, the body size of the intended wearer has to be defined and identified with the nearest size on a table of standard sizes. In this system, the body size is defined by scales of the appropriate primary and, where necessary, secondary dimensions, using preferred numbers. A good degree of standardization is achieved by the establishment of open-ended size scales with fixed intervals in at least the primary dimension for each garment type. Where body shape is characterized by a number of girth dimensions and height, the primary dimension is placed on a size table, while the secondary dimensions are dependent variables. The nearest whole number in the tables for that dimension is used for purposes of size designation. The tables of measures as described in this document constitute a first attempt at the grouping of body sizes appropriate to the European population. Garment size tables are readily compiled from this information. It is necessary to use an open system with inbuilt flexibility, because body shape and proportions for any one population group differ significantly. SIST EN 13402-3:2005
EN 13402-3:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document establishes a body sizing system to be used for compiling standard garment sizes for infants, men and boys, and women and girls. Garment dimensions are not contained in this document. Examples of labelling clothing with the standard pictogram (see EN 13402-1) are given in Annex A (informative) in this document. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13402-1, Size designation of clothes — Part 1: Terms, definitions and body measurement procedure (ISO 3635:1981, modified) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 drop chest-waist measurement
the difference between chest girth and waist girth for men in centimetres, expressed with a negative value when the waist is smaller than the chest NOTE For a chest of 100 cm with a waist of 88 cm, the drop is
-12. 3.2 primary dimension body measurement, in centimetres, that shall be used in designating the size of a garment for the consumer
[EN 13402-1] 3.3 secondary dimension body measurement,
in centimetres, or in the case of pantyhose, body mass (kg) that may additionally be used in designating the size of a garment for the consumer
[EN 13402-1] 3.4 cup size difference between the underbust girth and the bust girth
[EN 13402-2] 3.5 standard pictogram pictorial symbol used to indicate the position on the body of the relevant dimensions
[EN 13402-1] 3.6 interval difference between the value of two adjoining body measurements SIST EN 13402-3:2005
EN 13402-3:2004 (E) 6 3.7 range range is calculated by using one half plus or half minus interval from the primary or secondary dimension measurement. If the interval is 1,5 cm or less no range will be shown in the pictogram. All ranges on the pictogram will be rounded down to whole numbers. In case of weights the range is shown in whole numbers NOTE For examples, see Table 1a, 1b and 1c 3.8 lettercode embraces two bust or chest sizes, i.e. two intervals 4 Measurements and intervals 4.1 Women 4.1.1 General In order to accommodate variations in height by country and/or company, a system with 4 cm or 8 cm intervals for women is standardized, which means that a country and/or company may select any height from Table 1a with a range that may be extended to the left and right of Table 1a (see Annex A, Figure A.1).
NOTE For special kinds of clothing e.g. protective clothing, the appropriate size should be indicated by combining several body size ranges. Table 1a — Standard heights for women Dimensions in centimetres Heights for women in cm with intervals of 4 cm ← 156 160 164 168 172 176 180 184 188 →

As women may not have the exact heights detailed in Table 1a, a height range of ± 1/2 interval is recommended for use on the pictogram in accordance with EN 13402-1. In order to maintain maximum flexibility, it is left up to a country and/or company to choose 4 cm or 8 cm intervals, of which 8 cm is recommended for general use and intervals of 4 cm for trousers. EXAMPLE If a country/company selects 168 cm with an 8 cm interval, the range on the pictogram would be 164 cm to 172 cm. If a country selects 168 cm with a 4 cm interval, the range on the pictogram would be 166 cm to 170 cm.
4.1.2 Flexible link between bust, waist and hip measurements for women The standard sizing system allows each country/company to freely combine these three measurements as needed, although most countries will wish to use two lower or two higher waists or hips for a given bust according to the three lines of Table 2. Different combinations are shown in the examples in Table 3a, 3b and 3c.
