Full title and description

GOST R ISO 3635-99 — Clothes. Dimensions. Definitions, designation and measurement requirements. This is the Russian national adoption (GOST R) of the ISO standard on clothing size designation and body-measurement procedures (text reproduced from ISO 3635). (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)

Abstract

Specifies terms and definitions for body dimensions used in clothing size systems, the list of control (primary) body measurements, recommended pictograms for marking, required measuring equipment (tape, anthropometric stand) and standard procedures for taking measurements on adults, children and infants. The Russian text is an authentic adoption of ISO 3635 (1981) and was introduced for use in the Russian Federation as GOST R ISO 3635-99. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)

Scope

Applies to clothing in general and establishes uniform rules for defining, designating and measuring body dimensions used to assign garment sizes. It sets which control measurements are to be used for different garment types (for example chest/bust and height for jackets; waist and height for trousers), prescribes measuring conditions and instruments, and defines standard pictograms for marking measurements. The standard is intended for manufacturers, specifiers and testing bodies to ensure consistent sizing and labelling. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of anthropometric terms and landmark points (e.g., chest/bust girth, waist girth, hip girth, head girth, neck girth, height). (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)
• Specification of control (primary) measurements for different garment types and recommendation of secondary measurements where needed. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)
• Measurement procedures and conditions (subject posture, clothing during measurement, tape width, anthropometric stand usage). (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)
• Standard and modified pictograms to indicate which body measurements are shown on labels. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)
• Guidance on special cases (e.g., infant length measurement, allowable methods such as photogrammetry if equivalent accuracy is demonstrated). (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)

Typical use and users

Used by apparel manufacturers, workwear and protective-clothing producers, patternmakers and fit engineers, quality and conformity-assessment bodies, procurement/specification teams and standards committees in Russia and CIS countries. It has been referenced in national product standards and protective-clothing requirements for consistent size designation and labelling.

Related standards

Originally reproduces ISO 3635 (Size designation of clothes — Definitions and body measurement procedure). ISO 3635 has since been superseded by newer sizing standards (notably ISO 8559‑1:2017 and related parts) and by regional standards such as EN 13402 (European size designation of clothes). Protective-clothing general standards (e.g., ISO/EN 13688 series) also reference the updated ISO sizing definitions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R ISO 3635-99 is the Russian national adoption of ISO 3635 (the ISO document that defines terms and procedures for body measurement and size designation for clothing). It was accepted by Gosstandart in 1999 and came into force 1 January 2001. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions of body dimensions, how to measure them (equipment, posture, procedures), which measurements are the control values for different garment types, and pictograms/notation for marking garment sizes. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Apparel and protective‑clothing manufacturers, patternmakers, conformity-assessment laboratories, procurement/specification teams, and national standards bodies in Russia and neighbouring countries.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R ISO 3635-99 has been withdrawn (its term of action ended; Rosstandart actions in 2021 removed it from force). Internationally, ISO 3635 has been superseded by later standards (ISO 8559‑1:2017 and related documents) and regional standards such as EN 13402. Organizations should use the current ISO/EN sizing documents for up‑to‑date measurement and labelling rules.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is (in effect) the national adoption of a single-part ISO document (ISO 3635). Size designation and anthropometric measurement guidance have since been reorganized across newer ISO parts (ISO 8559 series) and other related standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Clothing sizes, body measurements, chest/bust girth, waist, hip, height, anthropometry, pictogram, size designation. (xn-----6kcbaeeywflm3c1andac1au8v.xn--p1ai)
