SizeGERMANY – the new German Anthropometric Survey Conceptual Design, Implementation and Results
Carried out in Germany between September 2007 and February 2009, SizeGERMANY is the latest representative anthropometrical measurement survey of more than 13,000 men, women and children. At more than 30 measurement locations distributed across the country, complete three-dimensional body shape information and more than 80 body measurements were acquired using 3D body scanners. The objective of the survey was to detect and document temporal changes of the body measurements and body proportions of men, women and children aged between 6 and 65+. Based on the results, updated body measurement statistics (ISO 7250-compliant) were acquired and an updated 3D man model for the CAD man model RAMSIS developed for the automotive industry. The apparel branch was provided with updated body measurement statistics (ISO 8559-compliant), adopted clothing size charts and recent market share information. These results also formed the basis for an updated secular growth prognosis model for German population, one which will last until 2040.For the first time, SizeGERMANY presented the results by means of an online-portal, providing participating companies access to results online, plus specific functionality for data analysis. These results will also influence ongoing activities for harmonizing a European wide apparel sizing system.The project was implemented in close cooperation between Human Solutions and the Hohenstein Institutes. More than 100 companies from the apparel branch and five companies from the automotive industry took part in this undertaking -the largest sizing survey ever implemented in Germany. This paper will present the objectives of the participating companies, the conceptual design of the project, the scientific and technical challenges, and the basic results of the measurement survey. The difference between the current project results and the most important traditional anthropometrical data collections available will also be discussed.
