RESEARCH OF THE COMPLIANCE OF MODERN FIGURES OF BOYS WITH THE CURRENT REGULATORY AND TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION FOR DESIGNING CLOTHES

Abstract

Investigation of the possibility of using the existing regulatory and technical documentation for the design of clothing for boys of primary school age. Methodology.  The  work  uses  the  contact  method  of  obtaining  anthropometric  information characterizing the fi gure of the child. An anthropometric method was used to determine body types. Findings. The manufacture of clothing according to the existing regulatory and technical documentation
does not take into account the modern features of the body of children, which will lead to a violation of the conformity of the fi nished product to a decrease in consumer satisfaction with commensurate clothing. This indicates the need for a broad study of the physique of the child population in order to revise the existing system of typical fi gures, namely, to determine the optimal number of fi gures, typ es of physiques and their quantitative characteristics. A signifi cant discrepancy between the typologica l composition of the fi gures in comparison with OST 17-67-88 and the composition of the typical fi gures of modern boys has been established. Only 48.34% of today's primary school age boys are provided in the industry standard, and 3.7% in other child standard age groups. Originality. Based on the analysis of modern typical fi gures of boys of primary school age, the percentage distribution of standard sizes in the sample was calculated and a list of typical fi gures that were absent in the children's industry standard was established. Practical value. The typological composition of the fi gures of boys of the younger age group has been determined, taking into account the leading dimensional characteristics to ensure an increase in the level of satisfaction of this group of children in the clothing of boys of mass production.
