4.1.4 Flexible link between chestlwaist and waistlhip measurements for men
4.1.4.1 General
The standard sizing system allows each country/company freely to combine chest and waist measurements and waist and hip measurement according to its requirements. To attain the required flexibility, correlated to the primary measurements chest or waist, a range of alternatives are defined which are possible to combine. The alternatives are differentiated by coding with letters: Table 4 provides 14 alternatives named from C to Q (except I and 0) for waist; Table 8 provides 8 alternatives named from C to K (except I and 0) for waist and hip.
The alternatives could for instance be expanded to an alternative A for smaller waists/hips and from K!k to Olo for larger hips.
The flexibility of the system allows by combining different hip and waist alternatives to build up the individual figure types of each country/company. It is also possible to change the alternatives between the sizes (see examples in Table 4).
During one alternative, the drop type changes. because the intervals for chest and waist are different from chest 108 cm.
4.1.4.2 Flexible use of chest-waist values for various drops
Countries/companies may wish to use a choice of chest and waist girth measurements for drop type minus 12, which have the above shown choices of chest and waist (drop minus 12 cm is the difference between chest and waist).
4.1.4.3 Flexible link between waist and hip girth measurements for men
For products like trousers, which cover the lower body, waist is the primary measurement and defines the size. To determine differentiations between various figure types, hip as secondary measurement is required. Table 8 contains a range of alternatives, which allows defining the whole range of individual figure types of different countries or companies.
The alternatives are to use as shown by the examples in Table 5.
4.14.4 Flexible link between neck and chest girth measurements for men
Neck is the primary measurement for mens shirts. Table 6 shows five different alternatives for neck/chest combinations The alternatives allow the flexible use of necklchest combinations for each country/company. The alternatives are expandable down to alternative A and up to alternative K for instance. The principle of flexible use is the same as for choosing waist alternatives.
4.1.4.5 Alternatives of arm length In correlation to chest and body height for men
Table 7 contains a range of arm lengths related to neck girth. For each neck size, 12 alternatives are available: C to 0. The alternatives are expandable after the same systematic as the other measurements. The correlation to neck is static between the different sizes. Nevertheless by changing the alternative for the arm length, required flexibility is provided.
Alternative arm length relationships may be used other than those listed in Table 7.EN 13402-3-2013 pdf download.
