| 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. | This is a federal guidance gateway, not legal advice, a product classification, an approved label, a test report, or a complete requirement set. Coverage, exemptions, fibre claims, origin claims, care instructions, substantiation, and responsible-party identification depend on the actual product and transaction. Confirm current rule text and enforcement guidance plus any CPSC, customs, state, environmental, advertising, accessibility, or other market requirements that apply. |

| 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 FTC clothing and textiles gateway links federal guidance, rules, cases, notices, and the Registered Identification Number database for textile, wool, fur, fibre, origin, environmental, and care-label topics. Its care-label guidance identifies covered manufacturers and importers, covered garments and piece goods, permanent-label expectations, care-instruction substantiation, exemptions, and enforcement under the Care Labeling Rule. |
