ISO 8559-2:2017规定了与ISO 8559-1（人体测量的人体测量定义）结合使用的特定类型服装的主要尺寸和次要尺寸。 本文件的主要目的是建立一个尺寸指定系统，制造商和零售商可以使用该系统向消费者（以简单、直接和有意义的方式）指示服装拟适合的人体尺寸。如果根据ISO 8559-1确定了人体尺寸（如指定尺寸所示），则该命名系统将有助于选择合适的服装。该信息可通过标签等方式显示。 尺码指定系统基于身体尺寸，而不是服装尺寸。服装尺寸的选择通常由设计师和制造商决定，他们会适当考虑服装的类型和位置、款式、剪裁和时尚元素。

ISO 8559-2:2017 specifies primary and secondary dimensions for specified types of garments to be used in combination with ISO 8559？1 (anthropometric definitions for body measurement). The primary aim of this document is to establish a size designation system that can be used by manufacturers and retailers to indicate to consumers (in a simple, direct and meaningful manner) the body dimensions of the person that the garment is intended to fit. Provided that the size of the person's body (as indicated by the specified dimensions) has been determined in accordance with ISO 8559？1, this designation system will facilitate the choice of garments that fit. This information can be indicated by labelling, etc. The size designation system is based on body measurements, not garment measurements. The choice of garment measurements is normally determined by the designer and the manufacturers who make appropriate allowances to accommodate the type and position of wear, style, cut and fashion elements of the garment.
