CAN2-49.6-M78
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard presents a modification of the complete Canada Standard
sizing system described in CAN2-49.5-M. More specifically the control
dimensions given in CAN2-49.5-M are called size indicator dimensions and for
all children's and girl's sizes, crotch height has been replaced by waist
height as the vertical size indicator dimension to conform more closely to
present trade practice. This sizing system does not cover footwear, hosiery or
gloves.
1.2 The standard contains a selection of those sizes from complete system
which are currently of greatest commercial interest and certain intermediate
sizes have been added to satisfy the needs of the retail trade.
1.3 The sizes are grouped into three ranges - Slim, Regular and Chubby ranges
for girls and Slim, Regular and Husky ranges for boys.
1.4 The sizes are designated by code numbers that correspond to current trade
usage and size indicator body dimensions. Examples of garment labelling
methods are given in par. 3.2.
1.5 Measurements of certain of the size indicator dimensions have been rounded
to the nearest whole or half centimetre for convenience.
1.6 This standard also contains definitions of body dimensions and the
necessary body measurements required to define each size.
