About

Scope

Standardization in the field of geometrical product specifications (GPS), i.e. macro- and microgeometry specifications covering dimensional and geometrical tolerancing, surface properties and the related verification principles, measuring equipment and calibration requirements including the uncertainty of dimensional and geometrical measurement. The standardization includes the basic layout and explanation of drawing indications (symbols).

Excluded:

  • the definition of the specific proportions and dimensions of drawing indications (symbols) and their execution.

ISO/TC 213
