Foreword
ISO (th lnternational Organizatlon lor Standardizationl is a worldwide federation ol
national standards bodiee (lSO member bodies). The work of preparing lnternational
Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member
body interested in a sublect for which a technical comminee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committe. lnternational organizations, governmenul and non-governmental, in liaison with lso, also take part in the work' lso
(lEC) on all
collaborates clgsely wirh the lnternational Electrotechnical Commission
matters of electrotechnical standardization"
Draft lnternational Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to

the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as lnternational Standards by
th ISO Council, They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.

lntsrnational Standard ISO 276&1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 3,

those dirnensions rernaining, which have individually indicated tolerances, will, for the most part, be thos controlling features for which the function requires relatively small
tolerances and which therefore nuy require special effort in
this will be hdpful for production planthe production
ning and will assist quality control servicss in their analysis
ol inspection rsquiramontE;

A.2

Abow certain tolarancs values, there is usually rrc gain

in manufecturing economy by enlarging the tolerance.

For

example, a feature having a 35 mm diamstercould be manufac-

tured to a high level of conformance in a workshop with


"custornary medium accuracy"" Specifying a tolerance of
t 1 mm would be of no boneftt in this particular workshop, as
the general tolerance value of t0,3mm would be quite
adequate.
Howe\ror, if, lor functional reasons, a feature requires a srnaller
tolerance value than the "genral toleranc6", then dtat fature
strould haw thg smaller tolerance indicated individually adja-

cnt to the dimension defining its size or angle, This typ of


tolerance falls outside the scop of general tolerances.

ln

of a feature allows a tolerance


to or larger than the general tolranc values, these

cases where the function

equal

should not be indicgted adjacent to the dimension but should


be stated on the drawing as described in clause 5. This type of
tolerance allows full use of the concept of general tolnncing.
There will be "exceptions to the rule" where the function of the

feature allours a larger toloranc than the general tgleronces,


and the larger tobranc will provide menufacturing Economy.
ln thess special cases, the larger tolerance should be indicated
individually adiacent to the dimendon for the particular featuro,
e.g. the depth of Hind holee drilled at assembly.

A.3

purchase and sub-contract supply engineers can


negotiate orders nrore readily since the "custornry

,workshop accuracy" is known belore the contract is placed;


this also avoids arguments on ddivery betveen the buyer
and the supplier, sinco in this rospct the drawing is complete.

Theee adrrantages are fully obtained only when there is


sufficient reliability trrat th general tolerances will not be
exceeded, i.e. when tho customary workshop accuracy of the
particular workshop is equal to orfiner than the general
tolerances indicated in the drawing.

The workshop should, therefore

find out by

measurements

what its

customary

workshop accuracY is;


accept only those drawings having general tolerances
equal to or gneater than its customary workshop accuracy;
check by sampling trat its custolnary workshop accuracy does not deteriorate.
Rdying on undefined "good workmanship" with all its uncertainties and misunderstandings is no longer necessary with the
general geometrical tolrances' The general
