Establishment Of The International Standardization Organization Secretariat Of Clothing Size Series

In November 11th, the Secretariat of the international standardization organization / clothing size series and Code Committee (ISO/TC133) was set up in Changshou City, Jiangsu. The Secretariat is located in Bosideng Limited by Share Ltd.

It is reported that this is the first international standardization organization settled in Changshu. It is also a historic breakthrough in the international standardization work of China's garment industry, which is of great significance for enhancing the international competitiveness of our clothing products and enhancing the international discourse power. This is also the first time that Chinese private enterprises have participated in the formulation and revision of international standards as an organizational unit, and have undertaken the work of the Secretariat.

The international garment size and code Technical Committee (ISO/TC133) is one of the members of the international standardization organization. It is responsible for the international standardization of garment size series and code names based on human body measurement. The member states include Italy, France, Japan and Germany. In the 70s of last century, South Africa received the ISO/TC133 secretarial qualification, but for various reasons, there is no uniform standard for clothing size and logo. For example, shirt size, European and American countries use S, M and L logo, our country uses 39, 40 and other digital identification; clothing size measurement methods are also different, such as South Africa and other countries clothing chest circumference is directly measured from the armpit, China is from the armpit 2.5 centimeters began to measure, resulting in size difference.

China is a large garment producing country and a large trading country. The manufacturing level of garment industry has entered the world's advanced ranks. It is the largest garment processing center in the world, and has a high dependence on the international garment market. Beginning in 2007, the National Standardization Management Committee, the China Textile Industry Association, the China clothing association, the Shanghai Clothing Research Institute (the Secretariat of the national garment Standardization Technical Committee) and the Bosideng Limited by Share Ltd and other units made efforts to actively promote the restart of the committee's work. In July 2010, the international organization for standardization ISO/TC133 formally decided that China and South Africa shared the Secretariat's work.
