Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 8559-1 : 2017 ‘Size designation of clothes — Part 1: Anthropometric definitions for body measurement’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standard on recommendation of the Made-up Textiles (Including Ready-Made Garments) Sectional Committee and approval of the Textile Division Council

This standard supersedes IS 11621 : 2009/ISO8559 : 1989 and IS 14453 : 1997/ ISO 3635 : 1981 to align Indian Standard with the corresponding International Standard.

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical with those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appears referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
