BS ISO 7250-3:2015

1   Scope This part of ISO 7250 provides worldwide and regional tables of design ranges for use with product standards for equipment design and safety that require ISO 7250 body measurement data input. Anthropometric data for technological design are used and presented in many standards. However, there is currently no systematic way to update and revise those values in a timely manner, as the body sizes and variation of member body populations change with time. Further, the schedule of member body anthropometric surveys varies widely. Many industrial products are developed for regional or worldwide markets without a clear presentation of regional and worldwide design ranges. Users of standards require the most appropriate body measurement values for their intended applications. Together with , which serves as a continuously updated data source for most current anthropometric data from individual member bodies, this part of provides a periodically updated data source for worldwide and regional design ranges, with guidance on sex differences. This part of is intended as the single source of anthropometric data for equipment design guidance in standards. While there are sources for individual member body data in , most standards do not use individual member body data for technological specification. This part of is to be used whenever worldwide or regional anthropometric data are needed. In cases when there are no suitable measurements in this part of , the methods and justifications used in arriving at regional and worldwide values from the body measurement data of individual populations can be used with suitable measurement data.
