Size designation of clothes - Part 2: Primary and secondary dimensions

This European Standard specifies primary and secondary dimensions for specified types of garments to be used in combination with EN 13402-1.
The primary aim of this European Standard is the establishment of a size designation system that can be used by manufacturers and retailers to indicate to consumers (in a simple, direct and meaningful manner) the body dimensions of the person that the garment is intended to fit. Provided the size of the persons body (as indicated by the specified dimensions) has been determined, in accordance with EN 13402-1 this designation system will facilitate the choice of garments that fit.
The size designation system is based on body and not on garment measurements. Choice of garment measurements is normally determined by the designer and the manufacturer who will make appropriate allowances to accommodate the type, position of wear, style, cut and fashion elements of the garment.

Größenbezeichnung von Bekleidung - Teil 2: Primär- und Sekundärmaße

Diese Europäische Norm legt Primär- und Sekundärmaße für festgelegte Arten von Bekleidungsstücken fest, die in Verbindung mit prEN 13402 angewendet werden. Das vorrangige Ziel dieser Europäischen Norm besteht darin, ein System der Größenbezeichnungen zu erstellen, mit dem Hersteller und Händler den Käufern (in einfacher, direkter und sinnvoller Weise) die Körpermaße der Person angeben, der das Kleidungsstück passen soll. Das vorliegende Bezeichnungssystem wird die Auswahl passender Bekleidungsstücke erleichtern, wenn die Körpergröße der Person fehlerfrei bestimmt wurde.

Désignation des tailles de vetements - Partie 2: Mesures primaires et secondaires

Cette Norme européenne prescrit les mesures primaires et secondaires pour des types spécifiés de vetements, a utiliser conjointement avec le prEN 13402. Cette Norme européenne a pour principal objet d'établir un systeme de désignation des tailles de vetements a utiliser par les fabricants et les détaillants pour indiquer aux consommateurs, d'une maniere simple, directe et explicite, les mensurations de la personne pour laquelle la taille du vetement est adaptée. Grâce a une détermination précise des mensurations du corps humain, ce systeme de désignation facilitera davantage le choix d'un vetement adapté.
