Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TR 7250-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 3,
Anthropometry and biomechanics.
ISO/TR 7250 consists of the following parts, under the general title Basic human body measurements for
technological design:
⎯ Part 1: Body measurement definitions and landmarks
⎯ Part 2: Statistical summaries of body measurements from individual ISO populations
Worldwide and regional design values for use in ISO equipment standards is to form the subject of a part 3.

ISO/TR 7250-2:2010(E)
Introduction
Anthropometric data used for technological design have been included in many ISO product standards.
However, different review cycles make it impossible for simultaneous revision of these product standards as
new anthropometric data become available. This Technical Report is intended to serve as a continually
updated repository of the most current national anthropometric data. It is intended to make current and
updated anthropometric data available for inclusion by reference in the various ISO product standards
requiring anthropometric data.
Body dimensions of people have been increasing in many countries over the last several decades. The rate of
increase differs from country to country. In the area where significant secular change is going on, statistical
summaries described in this Technical Report will be outdated sooner. Therefore, it is intended that statistical
summaries of human body measurements described in this Technical Report be updated as new data
become available.
TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 7250-2:2010(E)

Basic human body measurements for technological design —
Part 2:
Statistical summaries of body measurements from individual
ISO populations
1 Scope
This Technical Report provides statistical summaries of body measurements together with database
background information for working age people in the national populations of individual ISO member bodies.
The data in this Technical Report are intended for use in conjunction with ISO standards for equipment design
and safety, which require ISO 7250-1 body measurement input, wherever national specificity of design
parameters is required.
NOTE 1 Users of this Technical Report who know of newly available data are encouraged to contact their ISO member
bodies and the ISO TC 159/SC3 secretariat, as described in 6.2.
Body measurement data for technological design need to be reliable in terms of representing the intended
population and measurement quality. To ensure the comparability of measurements, body dimensions in this
Technical Report are measured according to ISO 7250-1. To ensure the reliability of statistical data,
databases from which statistics are calculated adhere to ISO 15535.
This Technical Report provides body measurement data for people of working age. In order to provide
practical data, the age range is not defined and the decision is left to each country, because working age
differs among countries. However, the data for children under 16 years are not included.
NOTE 2 Secular change means changes in mean body dimensions of a specific group over time. The direction of
change can be positive or negative.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO/TR 7250-2:2010(E)
3 Anthropometric measurements
Measuring conditions and definitions of measurements in this Technical Report are the same as those
described in ISO 7250-1. Body measurements are described in millimetres (mm) or kilograms (kg).
Body measurements obtained from 3-D systems or obtained using instruments different from those described
in ISO 7250-1 are confirmed by member bodies to be sufficiently close to those produced by the traditional
methods of ISO 7250-1 according to ISO 20685:—, Clause 5.
Sometimes a measurement is not performed exactly as described in ISO 7250-1, but is very similar. In such
cases, the measurement may be substituted for the ISO 7250-1 measurement if its value is adequately close.
To judge closeness, the method described in ISO 20685 needs to be used. The criteria for the judgment are
given in Annex A.
The measured side (right or left) is described.
When measurements not described in ISO 7250-1 are also available, the number of these measurements and
the reference are provided.
Age statistics are tabulated similarly and presented together with the anthropometric measurements.
4 Statistical procedures
4.1 Data editing
Before calculating statistical values, irregular values are detected and reviewed according to ISO 15535:2006,
Annex F.
4.2 Statistics
In this Technical Report, the following statistics are described for each measurement: sample size, mean,
standard deviation (SD), and 1st, 5th, 50th, 95th and 99th percentile values.
4.3 Population stratification
Population can be stratified by gender, age, location, occupation or education. To keep this Technical Report
at a reasonable size, statistics are presented for females, males, and females and males combined, but not
for other strata.
4.4 Age stratification
In order to provide practical data and to keep the Technical Report at a reasonable size, only one age group,
including all working age people, is considered.
4.5 Body measurements for representative body forms
Measurements for body forms representing large, medium and small types are useful for technological design.
While medium type can be represented by P50 values for all measurements, fixed percentile options are
problematic for extreme body forms, such as those derived from all P5 or P95 values. When sitting height and
leg length are P5, height is smaller than P5. Though such a problem is well recognized, there is no consensus
on the method for obtaining measurements for body forms statistically representing the variation in a
population. Considering this lack of consensus, it was decided not to present such data in this Technical
Report.

5 Background information
5.1 General
Statistics of body dimensions are described together with the following information for users to judge their
reliability and context.
5.2 Background of database
5.2.1 Time period of examination
Year(s) of measurement.
5.2.2 Location of examination
Name of the country and city.
5.2.3 Demographic data
For demographic data (gender, age, etc.), information on the following items is provided:
a) definition of the working age;
b) description of subjects;
c) number of subjects by gender;
d) ten-year age groups.
When more than one subgroup based on criteria other than the age and gender is involved, the percentage of
each subgroup is provided, if necessary.
5.2.4 Publication on the anthropometric research
The author, publication year, title of the publication and the name of publisher are provided when the data
have been published.
5.3 Representativeness of the sample
5.3.1 Sampling method
A description is given of the grounds on which the sample was judged to be representative of the intended
population. These include an examination of the sampling method and may also include the comparison of
height and weight in the measured sample data with those from a large sample representing the intended
population. If the data need to be weighted in order to be representative, then the weighting method is
described.
5.3.2 Information on secular change
When significant secular changes are going on, information on the rate of change over the last several
decades is presented, when available, and appropriate references are given.
ISO/TR 7250-2:2010(E)
5.4 Accuracy and reliability of measurements
5.4.1 Skill of measurers
The number of measurers and information on the skill of each measurer, such as intra-observer mean
absolute difference or technical error of measurement or repeated measurements, are shown when such data
are available. When more than one measurer is involved, the methods used to control the quality of the
measurement technique are documented. When the research is continued for more than one month, the
method of quality control during the research period is documented.
5.4.2 Measurements from 3-D scanners
When measurements are extracted from 3-D scans, the results are compared to measurements obtained by
traditional methods using the procedures in ISO 20685:—, Clause 5. Similarly, measurements taken using
instruments not described in ISO 7250-1 are compared to those obtained by traditional methods.
6 Procedure for presenting member body statistics
6.1 General
This clause describes how the working group gathers and presents the statistics given in this Technical
Report.
6.2 Submission of data
Users of this Technical Report and ISO member bodies are encouraged to submit anthropometric data for this
Technical Report. Users with knowledge of additional anthropometric data should contact their ISO member
body, and copy the ISO/TC 159/SC 3 secretariat on the communication (e-mail addresses can be found on
the ISO website: http://www.iso.org/). Member bodies should contact the ISO/TC 159/SC 3 secretariat. When
information is received, it will be processed as described below.
6.3 One data set from each member body
In the case of countries with more than one possible database, the member body has the responsibility to
determine which of the databases is to be used. If more than one set of statistics is submitted, it is the
responsibility of the working group to ask the member body to choose only one data set.
6.4 Meeting the criteria outlined in 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4
The working group requests that member bodies provide summary statistics that meet the criteria outlined in
4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. If the criteria are not met on the first submission, it is the responsibility of the working group
to ask the member body to re-submit the statistics according to the criteria.
6.5 Examination of possible errors
6.5.1 General
Recognizing that errors can accidentally occur in any data set, it is the responsibility of the working group to
examine the submitted summary statistics for reasonableness. The steps used are the following.
6.5.2 Minima and maxima
The minima and maxima for each dimension should be examined, comparing them to minima and maxima
from other member body submissions. If, in the professional judgment of the working group, minima or
4 © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved

ISO/TR 7250-2:2010(E)
maxima are likely to be the result of errors, it is the responsibility of the working group to contact the member
body to verify the submission.
6.5.3 Percentile values
The distance of the P1 and P99, P5 and P95 from the P50 percentile value should be examined. If the distant
percentiles are, in the professional judgment of the working group, unusually distant from the P50, it is the
responsibility of the working group to contact the member body to verify the submission.
6.5.4 Standard deviation
The standard deviation (SD) compared to the standard deviation submitted by other member bodies should be
examined. If the standard deviation is, in the professional judgment of the working group, unusually large or
unusually small, it is the responsibility of the working group to contact the member body to verify the
submission.
6.5.5 Comparison of mean or P50 values from member bodies
The mean or P50 values with respect to mean or P50 values from other member bodies should be examined
to make sure that the dimension being reported is that described in ISO 7250-1. If it appears, in the
professional judgment of the working group, that a different measuring technique, or different measurement
definition, has been used, it is the responsibility of the working group to contact the member body to verify the
measurement procedure.
6.6 Marks on values likely to be in error
If resubmitted summary statistics are still, in the professional judgment of the working group, likely to be in
error, the published values are marked with a footnote.

Province of Ancona (postcode 60100) littoral from Senigallia to Numana (1990): mainly
centre-north Italian population; Province of Naples (postcode 80100) littoral from
Pozzuoli to Sorrento (1991): mainly south Italian population (independently by
examination location, subject's origin is identified by their birth location first two digits of
Italian post office postcode: centre-north <70 south W70). Postcode is a geographical

Approximately 2 300 males and 1 850 females (the correct number is reported for each
variable) distributed in almost equivalent centre-north Italy (Ancona) and south Italy
(Naples) locations. The subdivision of centre-north and south population is based on
ISTAT (Italian Statistical Body) military recruitment standards. The subjects are
3.3 Survey sample common volunteer adult people present on the survey site (beach). The choice of
seashore in holiday time was to approach a reasonably non-specific population sample
to incidentally measure people that had time to spend and no difficulty concerning
clothing, making no selection of the volunteers. The choice of the site avoided socially
selected locations.

4  Representativeness of the sample
The age and gender frequencies reflect the proportions of the people at the beach and
their willingness to collaborate. This can at first look to be a serious restriction of the
sample. Nevertheless, such a distribution looks like a section of the natural distribution
of the population by age, the so-called Lexis curve, and consequently, the bias is not
4.1 Sampling method
expected to be critical, considering the primary object of the research. To balance the
sample by gender, the samples are weighted equal (weight coefficients: 0,898 males
and 1,129 females), keeping the total number equal to the original sample 4 020 ± 1.
Sample shows an inner tendency of change that combines “secular trend” and “ageing”.
