身体尺寸的事实---ISO世界各地"人体计量"

The truth about body sizes – ISO compiles "people measurements" from around the world
身体尺寸的事实---ISO收集世界各地的"人体计量"

With changing standards of living, the body dimensions of people have been increasing in many countries over the last few decades. To ensure that clothing, workplaces, transportation, homes and recreational activities match today’s body sizes comfortably and safely, ISO has published a report compiling up-to-date anthropometric data (human body measurements across populations).

随着生活水平的改变，最近几十年在许多国家，人的身体尺寸都在持续增长。为了确保服装、办公室、交通、住房和再创造活动与今天的身体尺寸相称，使人们感到舒适与安全，ISO公布了一个搜集了最近人体计量数据的报告。

The report, ISO/TR 7250-2:2010, Basic human body measurements for technological design – Part 2: Statistical summaries of body measurements from individual ISO populations, is the second part of a series on body measurements.

这份报告是一系列关于人体计量的第二部分，《人体计量的统计归纳》，ISO/TR 7250-2

ISO/TR 7250-2 seeks to identify physical variations in human body sizes and shapes around the world so that manufacturers can have a realistic view of today’s population diversity and optimize technological design accordingly.

ISO/TR 7250-2 试图找出人体关于尺寸和形状的变化以便仪器制作商能得出一个有关人口多样化的真实观点并因此优化技术上的设计

For instance, the report tell us that while the average height and weight of an American man are respectively 1.76 metres (m) and 80 kilograms (kg), those of the average Thai man are 1.67 m and 64 kg. And that an average Dutch woman measures 1.67 m and weighs 72 kg, while an average Japanese woman measures 1.57 m and weighs 51 kg.

例如，这个报告告诉我们，一个有着平均身高和体重的美国男人是1.76m、80Kg，而泰国是1.67,72Kg.一个普通的土耳其妇女是1.57m,51Kg.

Dr. Makiko Kouchi, Project Leader of ISO/TR 7250, explains, “Inadequate measures in products and environments compromise our health by putting unnecessary strain on our bodies. Can you imagine what it would be like to have to sit in a chair that is too tight, or to find it difficult to reach the products in a supermarket? Harmonizing our surroundings to our body size, shape and capability by applying ergonomic principles is key to ensuring our well-being.”

ISO/TR 7250的设计领导Makiko Kouchi博士解释道：“在产品和环境上的不完全测量会通过我们身体上某种不必要的紧张来危害我们的健康，你能想象不得不因为太紧张而坐在椅子上是一幅怎样的情景吗？你能想象在超市里找产品但是够不着是一幅怎样的情景吗？”根据我们身体的尺寸、形状和应用人类工程学的能力来优化我们的环境是确保正常运行的关键所在。

ISO/TR 7250-2 provides updated country-specific body size data. The report focuses on working age people within "ISO populations" (countries whose national standards institute is a member of ISO). It features key statistics for ergonomic design such as body mass, stature, eye height, chest depth, hip breadth, etc., in both standing and sitting positions. The measurements used as a basis are described in detail in the first part of the series, ISO/TR 7250-1:2008.

ISO/TR 7250-2提供了最新的各国身体尺寸的数据。这份报告的焦点是ISO成员中在工作年龄范围内的人，为人体工程学设计提供了重要的统计数据，例如在站着或坐着时，身体的重量、身材、眼高、胸围、臀宽等。这些测量的基准都在系列报告的第一部分，ISO/TR 7250-1:2008.

ISO/TR 7250-2 aims to become a reference for the various ISO product standards, so that their ergonomic accuracy can be further improved. The report is intended as a repository of the most current anthropometric data by country, which will be updated as new statistics become available. It currently includes: Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Thailand and the USA.

ISO/TR 7250-2旨在为不同的ISO产品标准提供一个参考，以便人体工程学的准确性有更好的改善。这个报告是作为一个提供当前各国人体计量的数据库，这些国家包括：澳大利亚、德国、意大利、日本、肯尼亚、韩国、荷兰、泰国、美国，它们都可以使用最新的统计数据。

“We developed ISO/TR 7250-2 with the principle of ‘equity’ in mind” says Dr. Kouchi. “More often than not, products are designed in a mass production basis which ignores human variation. The report will help manufacturers to better gear their products to their target customers, taking into account the considerable differences in body shapes and sizes that can exist. This will ensure that products respect the ergonomic needs of their populations, and that no size is ‘discriminated’ no matter how big or small” she concludes.

Kouchi.博士说：“我们带着人人平等的观念编写ISO/TR 7250-2，越来越多用于设计大产量产品的基准都忽视了人类变化。这个报告讲帮助制造商更好的使他们的产品适合目标客户，同时考虑到他们存在于身体尺寸和形状因素上的差异。”

The ISO/TR ISO 7250 series was prepared by technical committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, subcommittee SC 3, Anthropometry and biomechanics.

ISO/TR ISO 7250系列由人体工程学ISO/TC 159技术学会、人体计量学和生物力学SC 3小组委员会撰写
