유아복의 KS 치수체계 개정을 위한 제안 연구

Abstract

This study proposed a revision of standard sizing system for infant clothing to provide exact information forconsumers and manufacturers. The size designation was set up by compensating the defect of existing system. Basic bodymeasurement and reference body measurement were analysed according to size designation. The ages of the infantsranged from 0 to 36 month in accordance with safety standard of KC Self-Regularity Safety Confirmation. The results areas follows: Size designation for infant clothing was based on height that was basic body measurement. Chest girth, waistgirth, head girth, arm length, foot length and weight were also analysed according to age of the month. It was proposedthat height could be written alone and height with age of month did together for size designation. Size intervals of basicand reference body measurements were fixed as follows: size intervals are 5 cm in height, 2 cm in chest girth, 2 cm inwaist girth, 1 cm in head girth, 2 cm in arm length, 0.5 cm in foot length and 2 kg in weight. The distributions of heightand chest girth showed normal distributions. As height was taller, chest girth was also bigger. But the distribution of waistgirth didn't show remarkable change with age of month. The distributions of arm length and weight showed remarkabledifference with growth in 0~9 months, but the amount of growth variation got less in 12~18 months.
