| Know before using | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. | The ACCC explicitly describes this page as an overview that suppliers must not use as a complete compliance guide. It is not the registered instrument or the full licensed text of AS/NZS 1957:1998 or ISO 3758:2012, and it does not classify a product, select or approve instructions, or cover fibre content, origin, children's nightwear, chemicals, general product safety, every state or territory issue, or legal advice. Check the current instrument, exact product scope and exemptions, incorporated text, label execution, related rules, records, and enforcement guidance before supply. |

| What the source establishes | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. | The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Product Safety page identifies the Consumer Goods (Care Labelling) Information Standard 2023 as the mandatory rule for prescribed clothing, household textiles, furnishings, bedding, piece goods, textile yarns, leather, fur, and other listed goods. It publishes the main exclusions, states that suppliers may use English care instructions, the five internationally recognised care symbols, or both, and links the registered instrument and explanatory statement. It also states that the rule draws on specified parts of AS/NZS 1957:1998 and ISO 3758:2012 and that non-compliance can lead to penalties or a recall obligation. |
