Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types

Introduction
Anthropometric data used for technological design have been included in many ISO product standards.
However, different review cycles make it impossible for simultaneous revision of these product standards
as new anthropometric data become available. This document is intended to serve as a continually updated
repository of the most current national anthropometric data. It is intended to make current and updated
anthropometric data available for inclusion by reference in the various ISO product standards requiring
ISO 7250-1 body measurement input, wherever national specificity of design parameters is required.
Body dimensions of people have been increasing in many countries over the past few decades. The rate of
increase differs from country to country. In areas experiencing significant secular change, the statistical
summaries described in this document will become outdated sooner. Therefore, it is intended that statistical
summaries of human body measurements described in this document be updated as new data become
available.
This document provides body dimensions data for people of "working age". In order to provide practical
data, the working age population is not defined and the decision is left to each country, because working age
differs between countries. However, data for children under 16 years are not included.
To ensure the comparability of measurements, body dimensions in this document are measured according
to ISO 7250-1. To ensure the reliability of statistical data, databases from which statistics are calculated
adhere to ISO 15535:2012 and ISO 15535:2023.

Technical Report ISO/TR 7250-2:2024(en)
Basic human body measurements for technological design —
Part 2:
Statistical summaries of body measurements from national
populations
1 Scope
This document provides statistical summaries of body measurements measured according to
ISO 7250-1, together with database background information for working age people prepared according to
ISO 15535:2012 in the national populations of individual ISO member bodies. This document also describes
the process of the measurement and preparation of statistical summaries.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
secular change
change in mean body dimensions of a specific group over time
Note 1 to entry: The direction of change can be positive or negative.
4 Anthropometric measurements
Measuring conditions and definitions of measurements in this document are the same as those described in
ISO 7250-1. Body measurements are described in millimetres (mm) or kilograms (kg).
Body measurements obtained from 3D systems or obtained using instruments different from those
described in ISO 7250-1 are confirmed by member bodies to be sufficiently close to those produced by
the traditional methods of ISO 7250-1 according to ISO 20685-1:2018, Clause 5. Annex B provides further
information on scan-derived databases.
Sometimes a measurement is not performed exactly as described in ISO 7250-1, but is very similar. In such
cases, the measurement may be substituted for the ISO 7250-1 measurement if its value is adequately close.
To judge closeness, the method described in ISO 20685-1 is used. The criteria for the judgment are given in
Annex A.
The measured side (right or left) is described.

ISO/TR 7250-2:2024(en)
When measurements not described in ISO 7250-1 are also available, the number of these measurements and
the reference are provided.
Age statistics are tabulated similarly and presented together with the anthropometric measurements.
5 Statistical procedures
5.1 Data editing
Before calculating statistical values, irregular values are detected and reviewed according to ISO 15535:2012,
Annex F or ISO 15535:2023, Annex F.
5.2 Statistics
In this document, the following statistics are described for each measurement: sample size, mean, standard
deviation (SD) and 1st, 5th, 50th, 95th and 99th percentile values.
5.3 Population stratification
Population can be stratified by gender, age, location, occupation or education. To keep this document at a
reasonable size, statistics are presented for females and males, but not for other strata.
5.4 Age stratification
In order to provide practical data and to keep this document at a reasonable size, only one age group,
including all working-age people, is considered.
5.5 Body measurements for representative body forms
Measurements for body forms representing large, medium and small types are useful for technological
design. While the medium type can be represented by P50 values for all measurements, fixed percentile
options are problematic for extreme body forms, such as those derived from all P5 or P95 values. When
sitting height and leg length are P5, height is smaller than P5. Though such a problem is well recognized,
there is no consensus on the method for obtaining measurements for body forms statistically representing
the variation in a population. Considering this lack of consensus, such data is not presented in this document.
6 Background information
6.1 General
Statistics of body dimensions are described together with the following information for users to judge their
reliability and context.
6.2 Background of database
6.2.1 Time period of measurement
Year(s) of measurement.
6.2.2 Location of measurement
Name of the country and city.
ISO/TR 7250-2:2024(en)
6.2.3 Demographic data
For demographic data (e.g. gender, age), information on the following items is provided:
a) definition of the working age;
b) description of participants;
c) number of participants by gender;
d) 10-year age groups.
When more than one subgroup based on criteria other than the age and gender is involved, the percentage of
each subgroup is provided, if necessary.
6.2.4 Publication on the anthropometric research
The author, publication year, title of the publication and the name of publisher are provided when the data
have been published.
6.3 Representativeness of the sample
6.3.1 Sampling method
A description is given of the grounds on which the sample was judged to be representative of the intended
population. These include a measurement of the sampling method and can also include the comparison of
height and weight in the measured sample data with those from a large sample representing the intended
population. If the data need to be weighted in order to be representative, then the weighting method is
described.
6.3.2 Information on secular change
When significant secular changes are occurring, information on the rate of change over the past few decades
is presented when available, and appropriate references are given.
6.4 Accuracy and reliability of measurements
6.4.1 Skill of measurers
The number of measurers and information on the skill of each measurer, such as intra-observer mean
absolute difference or technical error of measurement (TEM) or repeated measurements, are shown when
such data are available. When more than one measurer is involved, the methods used to control the quality
of the measurement technique are documented. When the research is continued for more than one month,
the method of quality control during the research period is documented.
6.4.2 Measurements from 3D scanners
When measurements are extracted from 3D scans, the results are compared to measurements obtained by
traditional methods using the procedures in ISO 20685-1:2018, Clause 5. Similarly, measurements taken
using instruments not described in ISO 7250-1 are compared to those obtained by traditional methods.
7 Procedure for presenting member body statistics
7.1 General
This clause describes how the statistics given in this document are gathered and checked.

ISO/TR 7250-2:2024(en)
7.2 Submission of data
Users of this document and ISO member bodies are encouraged to submit anthropometric data for this
document. Users with knowledge of additional anthropometric data can contribute by contacting their ISO
member body. When information is received, it is processed as described in this clause.
7.3 One data set from each member body
In the case of countries with more than one possible database, the member body determines which of the
databases is to be used. If more than one set of statistics is submitted, the member body will be asked to
choose only one data set.
7.4 Meeting the criteria outlined in 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4
Member bodies will provide summary statistics that meet the criteria outlined in 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. If the
criteria are not met on the first submission, the member body will be asked to resubmit the statistics
according to the criteria.
7.5 Measurement of possible errors
7.5.1 General
Recognizing that errors can accidentally occur in any data set, the submitted summary statistics are
measured for reasonableness. The steps used are those in 7.5.2 to 7.5.5.
7.5.2 Minima and maxima
The minima and maxima for each dimension are measured, comparing them to minima and maxima from
other member body submissions. If minima or maxima are likely to be the result of errors, the member body
will be contacted to verify the submission.
7.5.3 Percentile values
The distance of the P1 and P99, P5 and P95 from the P50 percentile value are measured. If the distant
percentiles are unusually distant from the P50, the member body will be contacted to verify the submission.
7.5.4 Standard deviation (SD)
The SD is compared to the SD submitted by other member bodies. If the SD is unusually large or unusually
small, the member body will be contacted to verify the submission.
7.5.5 Comparison of mean or P50 values from member bodies
The mean or P50 values are measured with respect to mean or P50 values from other member bodies to
make sure that the dimension being reported is that described in ISO 7250-1. If it appears that a different
measuring technique, or different measurement definition, has been used, the member body will be
contacted to verify the measurement procedure.
7.6 Marks on values likely to be in error
If resubmitted summary statistics are still likely to be in error, the published values are marked with a
footnote.

3 Background data
Time period of measure-
3.1 1990 to 1991, July to September
ment
Province of Ancona (postcode 60 100) littoral from Senigallia to Numana (1990):
mainly centre-north Italian population; province of Naples (postcode 80 100) litto-
ral from Pozzuoli to Sorrento (1991): mainly south Italian population. Independent
of measurement location, participants' origins are identified by their birth location,
first two digits of Italian post office postcode: centre-north < 70 south W70. Post-
code is a geographical (west < east, north < south, 00 Rome) and numerical variable
that allows the arrangement of cases according to the user's needs.
3.2 Location of measure-
ment
Y frequency
1 centre-north
2 south
Approximately 2 300 males and 1 850 females (the correct number is reported for
each variable) distributed in almost equivalent centre-north Italy (Ancona) and
south Italy (Naples) locations. The subdivision of centre-north and south population
is based on ISTAT (Italian Statistical Body) military recruitment standards. The
3.3 Survey sample participants are common volunteer adult people present on the survey site (beach).
The choice of seashore in holiday time was to approach a reasonably non-specific
population sample to incidentally measure people that had time to spend and no
difficulty concerning clothing, making no selection of the volunteers. The choice of
the site avoided socially selected locations.

4 Representativeness of the sample
The age and gender frequencies reflect the proportions of the people at the beach
and their willingness to collaborate. This can initially appear to present a serious
restriction of the sample. However, the distribution resembles a section of the nat-
ural distribution of the population by age (the "Lexis curve"), and consequently, the
4.1 Sampling method
bias is not expected to be critical, considering the primary object of the research. To
balance the sample by gender, the samples are weighted equally (weight coefficients:
0,898 males and 1,129 females), keeping the total number equal to the original sam-
ple 4 020 ± 1.
Sample shows an inner tendency of change that combines “secular trend” and “age-
ing”.

5 Accuracy and reliability of measurements
The survey was carried out by a team of four (two male and two female) operators:
physical education graduates (Ancona) and Doctor of Medicine graduate students
Intra- and inter-observ- (Naples), supervised by an expert anthropometrist and certified ergonomist. No
