ISO 8559-1:2017提供了人体测量的描述，可作为创建物理和数字人体测量数据库的基础。本文件中规定的测量列表旨在为服装领域的从业者提供指南，要求他们应用自己的知识选择人群细分市场，并为所有服装类型及其等效合身人体模型的开发创建尺寸和形状轮廓。该清单为如何进行人体测量提供了指南，并为服装产品开发团队和人体模型制造商提供了测量原理及其基础解剖和人体测量基础的信息。 附录A描述了根据服装尺寸指定中最常用的身体尺寸选择使用的象形图（标准化和修改）。 ISO 8559-1:2017旨在与国家、区域或国际法规或协议结合使用，以确保人口群体定义的和谐，并允许对人体测量数据集进行比较。

ISO 8559-1:2017 provides a description of anthropometric measurements that can be used as a basis for the creation of physical and digital anthropometric databases. The list of measurements specified in this document is intended to serve as a guide for practitioners in the field of clothing who are required to apply their knowledge to select population market segments and to create size and shape profiles for the development of all garment types and their equivalent fit mannequins. The list provides a guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, as well as give information to clothing product development teams and fit mannequin manufacturers on the principles of measurement and their underlying anatomical and anthropometrical bases. Annex A describes the use of the pictogram (standardized and modified) based on the selection of most usual body dimensions used for clothing size designation. ISO 8559-1:2017 is intended to be used in conjunction with national, regional or international regulations or agreements to ensure harmony in defining population groups and to allow comparison of anthropometric data sets.
