Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies primary and secondary dimensions for specified types of garments to be used in combination with US ISO 8559-1 (anthropometric definitions for body measurement). The primary aim of this document is to establish 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. (This standard, together with US ISO 8559-1:2017, cancels and replaces US 356:2002, Size designation of clothes -Men`s and boy outerwear garments, US 357:2002, Size designation of clothes -Women`s and girl`s outerwear garments and US 358:2002, Size designation of clothes - Infants garments, which have been withdrawn).
