EN 13402-2 Size Definition of Garments - Part 2: Standard Test for Primary and Secondary Dimensions

The primary purpose of this European standard is to establish a sizing system that can be used by manufacturers and retailers to indicate to consumers (in a simple, direct and meaningful way) the body measurements of the person the garment is intended to fit.

Provided that the person's body measurements (as indicated by the specified measurements) have been determined according to EN 13402-1, this identification system will facilitate the selection of clothing that fits the body. The sizing system is based on size, not clothing measurements. The choice of garment sizes is normally determined by the designer and manufacturer, who will make appropriate allowances to meet the garment's type, clothing location, style, cut and fashion items.

Different size systems in Europe mean that different clothing sizes in use in European countries may fit people with the same or nearly identical body measurements. This European standard is a reference document for a standardized European sizing system for different types of clothing.

For babies, only body size is used as the primary dimension. The primary dimension will form the basic sizing system. Heights and circumferences are measured according to EN 13402-1. The primary dimension will form the basic sizing system.
