ASTM D6458-99 Historical

1.1 These tables list body measurements of boys, sizes 8 to 14 Slim and 8 to 20 Regular. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for boys and students in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type, ease for body movement, styling, and fit.

1.2 These tables list body measurements for Slim and Regular. Slim subjects are of same stature (height), with a slimmer body, and lower body weight than regular subjects as illustrated by the measurement charts.

1.3 The values state in either acceptable SI units or inch-pound units shall be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
