BSI BS 6612:1985

This British Standard specifies requirements for hosiery which is designed to exert compression on the legs while standing or walking. It includes pantihose, thigh length garments and knee length garments, for men and women. It does not cover garments intended for non-ambulatory patients, or shaped support bandages without a positive location for the heel or foot, or individually made garments.

Requirements are given for compression, compression profile, durability of compression under repeated washing, size designation, sampling and labelling. The method of test for determining the compression exerted by hosiery is given in appendix A. Recommendations for garment design are made in appendix B.

NOTE. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
