Foreword

IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide

federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are

circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.

International Standard IS0 6284 was prepared by Technical Committee

lSO/TC IO, Technical drawings, product definition and relate Id
documentation, Subcommittee SC 8, Construction documentation.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 6284:1985 1I
which has been technically revised.

Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Construction drawings - Indication of limit deviations

1 Scope

This International Standard specifies methods for the indication of limit deviations on construction drawings.

2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

IS0 286-l :I 988, IS0 system of limits and fits - Part 7: Bases of tolerances, deviations and fits.

IS0 1803: -11, Building construction - Expression of dimensional accuracy - Vocabulary.

ISO 4068: 1978, Building and civil engineering drawings - Reference lines.

3 Definitions

For the purposes of this International Standard, the definitions given in IS0 286-l and IS0 1803 apply.

4 General

A limit deviation shall be indicated on a drawing only when there is a functional requirement to control dimension,
orientation or form.

5 Indication of limit deviations

5.1 The following methods shall be used when requirements for accuracy are to be defined by limit deviations.

1) To be published. (Revision of IS0 1803-I :I 985, IS0 1803-2:1986 and IS0 4464:1980)

The indication of limit deviations shall be

a) a single reference in the space for text (see IS0 9431) in the case of repetitive deviations;

b)1 placed with, or adjacent to, t he caption of the figure when limit deviation information applies only to sjzes
within that fi gure (for exa mple ,a cross-section detail);

d placed with, or adjacent to, the size concerned when limit deviation information applies only to that size.

5.2 Limit deviations for size shall be indicated by the target size and the limit deviations. The target size and the
values of limit deviations shall be given in millimetres (see figures 1 and 2). In the case of angles, the target size
and the limit deviations should preferably be given in degrees, but may be given, if necessary, in gon.

Limit deviation information which is shown on drawings should be given in accordance with the example shown in
figure 1 a) for a symmetrical limit deviation and in accordance with figure 1 b) or figure 1 c) for an asymmetrical limit
deviation.

5.3 Limit deviations for a position dimension are limit deviations for a dimension which locates one item in relation
to another, for example, one reference line to another, a component to a reference line [see figure 2a) and
IS0 40681 or a finished floor level to a datum level [see figure Zb)].

Levels relate to site zero datum and are given in metres with three digits to the right of the decimal sign.
