the designation o f clothing sizes, independently from the product itsel f, for garment types as diverse as jackets, skirts, underwear, corsetry (intimate apparel) and headwear Body measurements are listed separately for men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ clothing For in fants, body height is used as the primary dimension (see ISO 8559-1) except for headwear, socks, stockings and gloves Heights and girths are measured in accordance with ISO 8559-1 The primary dimension constitutes the basic size designation system A number o f the secondary dimensions, as given in Table , may be used in such a designation system The following example explains how to use the table EXAMPLE The relevant indication o f a men’s jacket is designated by the chest girth, indicated on a pictogram Waist girth and/or body height and/or back shoulder width can be given as further optional measurements Hand size is a code based on the hand girth in centimetres (ISO 8559-1) Table — Primary and secondary dimensions in
