Annex A
(informative)
XXXXX
A.1
There are occasionally business reasons to develop products for a more focused, regional market. In this
Annex a method for creating regional design ranges from individual member body data presented in ISO TR
7250-2 is illustrated. Two examples are presented here: One is Europe, where anthropometric standards are
used to help show conformity with European legislation; the other is Asia, since Asian markets are among the
fastest growing in the world. Note that regional design ranges are informative in nature.
In general, regional ranges should be derived from only the member body data presented in ISO TR 7250-2
for reasons described in Paragraph 4.1. In the case of defining regional ranges for the European region,
existing CEN and ISO standards were used as a starting point (e.g. EN 547-3:1997, EN ISO 14738:2002, EN
ISO 15534-3:2000). Where individual European member body data in ISO TR 7250-2 exceed the published
CEN standard ranges, the ISO TR 7250-2 limits were used to update the European design ranges.
At this time European data are available only for Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. It is possible that these
example design ranges will need to be extended when anthropometric data from other European member
bodies are submitted for inclusion in ISO TR 7250-2.

The statistical values included in this standard are from national populations supplied by ISO Member Bodies.
In some countries, there may be other anthropometric data available, sometimes for a fee. Examples of some
