ASTM D6240

1.1 These standard tables cover the body measurements of men from size thirty-four to sixty. Although these are body measurements, they can be used in designing apparel for men in this size range when such factors as fabric type, ease of body movement, styling, and fit are taken into account.

1.2 The values stated in either acceptable metric units or in other 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.

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.
