    New German industrial standards (DIN 33 402) update anthropometric examination methods. These standards provide clearer, more exact body measurement definitions and procedures for industrial anthropology and legislators.

    Area of Science:

    • Anthropometry
    • Industrial Anthropology
    • Ergonomics

    Context:

    • Rudolf Martin's established anthropometric methods are outdated for current industrial and legislative demands.
    • A need for updated, precise anthropometric measurement definitions and procedures has emerged.
    • Collaboration between industrial anthropologists and the German Institute of Industrial Standards (DIN) was initiated.

    Purpose:

    • To present the anthropometric component of the new German standard DIN 33 402.
    • To establish clear and exact definitions and procedures for body measurements.
    • To address the limitations of existing anthropometric systems in meeting modern requirements.

    Summary:

    • The German Institute of Industrial Standards has established DIN 33 402, a new standard for body measurements, measurement methods, and definitions.

  • This standard, developed in cooperation with industrial anthropologists, includes 56 distinct body measurements.
  • It aims to provide a more precise and universally applicable system than previous methods.

    • Impact:

    • Facilitates more accurate anthropometric data collection in industrial settings.
    • Supports legislative requirements for standardized human body measurements.
    • Sets the stage for potential international standardization (ISO) in anthropometry.
