Overview
EN 13402-3:2017 - Size designation of clothes: Part 3 - defines a flexible European system for size labelling based on body measurements and intervals. Published by CEN, this standard describes how to present consumer-facing size information using the standard pictogram (see EN 13402-1). It provides examples of measurement tables and interval schemes (Annex A) for men, women, boys, girls, infants, and head/hand/foot sizing. Note: garment dimensions are not specified in this document.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Standard pictogram usage: Size information shall be shown at point of sale (labels, hangtags, packaging, websites) using the pictogram defined in EN 13402-1.
- Primary and secondary dimensions: Sizes are based on primary body dimensions (cm) and may include one or more secondary dimensions (cm or kg for tights). The standard allows flexible combination of dimensions to suit markets or garment types.
- Numeric and letter size designations:
- Numeric order: primary dimension first; for men/women height is typically in second position and other secondary dimensions third. For lower-body items, hip is primary and inside leg is secondary. For children, height is always the first dimension.
- Letter sizes: XXS → 3XL are defined as examples for garments with high fit tolerances (knitwear, sportswear).
- Intervals and ranges: Annex A gives example intervals between adjacent body measurements. Ranges for each size are calculated from interval values; when intervals are small (around 1.5–2 cm), only the centre value may be shown rather than a range to avoid overlap/gaps.
- Presentation rules: Dimensions in the pictogram are separated with slashes and marked by measurement lines; companies may choose arrows or straight lines. The pictogram should clearly indicate which body measurements are used.
Practical applications
- Create consumer-friendly size charts for retail and e‑commerce that reduce returns and increase conversion.
- Standardize hangtags, labels and packaging to improve cross-border clarity in the EU market.
- Inform pattern grading and specification sheets by aligning garment design to body-based size intervals.
- Support size communication for manufacturers, brands and private-label suppliers targeting diverse European populations.
Who should use this standard
- Apparel manufacturers and product developers
- Retailers and e‑commerce teams preparing size guides
- Technical designers, pattern graders and sizing consultants
- Labeling and compliance teams operating in Europe
- Standardization bodies and organizations harmonizing apparel sizing

Examples of measurement and interval tables A.1 General Examples of body measurements and their intervals for primary dimensions for size designation (see EN 13402-2) are given for men, women, boys, girls and infants. In addition, the secondary dimensions (see EN 13402-2) are given with the possibilities for a country/company to apply when needed. The possibilities are shown in the tables horizontally for each primary dimension value and vertically for each secondary dimension value. The arrows at the beginning and at the end of the table range indicate that other values are possible to increase or decrease the range. The arrows in the left frame column of the tables, indicate if other values are possible to increase or decrease the intervals up or down. Intervals between sizes can be linear, proportional or irregular. Range is recommended for use on the pictogram as described in Clause 5. Each country/company chooses to either follow below examples of tables with measurement and intervals, or build their own measurements tables as needed for their market. Using only the tables as a reference how to develop a measurement chart and specify it clearly to the end customer by adapting Clause 5 and labelling clothing with a standard pictogram.

SIST EN 13402-3:2017 표준은 의류의 사이즈 지정에 관한 유럽 표준으로, 신체 치수를 기반으로 한 유연한 사이징 시스템을 설명합니다. 이 표준은 소비자에게 제공되는 사이즈 라벨링 정보를 명확하게 하기 위해 표준 피토그램을 사용합니다. 특히, 이 표준은 소비자가 의류를 선택할 때 정확한 정보를 제공함으로써 쇼핑 경험을 개선하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 이 문서의 5조에서는 표준 피토그램을 사용한 의류 라벨링의 예시가 제시되어 있습니다. 이는 소비자에게 쉽고 이해하기 쉬운 방식으로 사이즈 정보를 전달하는데 큰 장점이 됩니다. 피토그램을 통한 시각적 표현은 소비자들이 다양한 사이즈 옵션을 빠르게 인식하고, 올바른 선택을 할 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 또한, 부록 A에서는 남성, 여성, 소년, 소녀, 유아를 위한 신체 치수 및 간격에 대한 표의 예시가 제공됩니다. 이는 의류 제조업체들이 참조하여 다양한 인구집단에 맞는 사이즈를 개발하는 데 유용한 자료가 됩니다. 이러한 세밀한 기준은 의류 사이징의 일관성을 높이고, 소비자가 각기 다른 브랜드의 의류를 선택할 때 보다 심플한 방식으로 사이즈를 비교하도록 합니다. 그러나 이 문서는 의류의 치수를 직접적으로 포함하고 있지 않아, 실제 치수에 대한 정보가 필요한 사용자는 다른 문서를 참고해야 할 필요가 있습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 SIST EN 13402-3:2017은 의류의 사양 및 사이즈 시스템에 대한 발전을 위한 견고한 기반을 제공하여, 소비자 보호와 제조업체의 효율성을 동시에 만족시키고 있습니다. 이러한 점에서 본 표준은 현재 의류 산업에서 매우 관련성이 높은 문서로 평가됩니다.
SIST EN 13402-3:2017は、衣類のサイズ指定に関する欧州規格の一部であり、身体の寸法に基づいた柔軟なサイズシステムを定義しています。この標準は、消費者向けに関連するサイズラベリング情報を提供し、標準的なピクトグラムを用いることで視覚的に分かりやすい表示を実現しています。特に、衣類のサイズを理解する上で重要な役割を果たします。 本規格の強みは、様々な身体寸法とその間隔を明確に示すことで、各年齢層や性別に対する適切なガーメントサイズの作成を容易にする点です。第5条には、標準ピクトグラムを用いた衣類ラベリングの具体例が示され、消費者がサイズを選択する際に必要な情報が直感的に理解できるよう工夫されています。さらに、附属書Aには、男女、男の子、女の子、幼児に対する身体寸法とその間隔の表が掲載されており、ビジュアルなガイドとしても非常に役立ちます。 サイズ指定の国際的な統一が進む中で、このSIST EN 13402-3:2017の関連性は増すばかりです。一貫したサイズ基準を提供することで、消費者が異なるブランド間での購入を行いやすくし、オンラインショッピングの普及に伴うサイズの不一致を減少させる効果があります。これは特に、国際的な市場で競争力を持つために重要な要素です。 従いまして、SIST EN 13402-3:2017は、衣類のサイズ指定における良質なガイドラインを提供しており、その明確さと実用性は業界内外から高く評価されています。
The SIST EN 13402-3:2017 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the size designation of clothes, focusing specifically on body measurements and size intervals. Its primary objective is to establish a flexible sizing system that enhances consumer understanding through standardized size labelling. This is accomplished by utilizing a standard pictogram, which serves as a clear and visual guide for consumers to interpret garment sizes accurately. One of the significant strengths of this standard lies in its structured approach to body measurements. By offering detailed examples in Annex A, the document facilitates the compilation of garment sizes tailored for various demographic segments, including men, women, boys, girls, and infants. This inclusivity allows manufacturers to cater to a wider audience, ensuring that consumers can find garments that fit them better and meet their expectations in terms of comfort and style. Additionally, the document emphasizes the importance of consistent labelling practices, as highlighted in Clause 5, which provides specific instances of how clothing should be labelled with the standard pictogram. This not only aids in consumer education but also fosters greater trust in clothing brands that adhere to these guidelines, as they signify a commitment to transparency and quality. The relevance of SIST EN 13402-3:2017 is further underscored by the ever-evolving nature of fashion and apparel industries, where body diversity is increasingly recognized. By adopting this standard, businesses can align their practices with contemporary consumer needs, thereby enhancing their competitive edge in the market. Overall, the standard's focus on standardized body measurements and labelling makes it an essential reference for both manufacturers and consumers, paving the way for a more informed and satisfying shopping experience.
