Introduction
2 General
All features on component parts always have a size and a geometrical shape. For the deviation of size and for the deviations of the geometrical characteristics (form, orientation and location) the function of the part requires limitations which, when exceeded, impair this function. The tolerancing on the drawing should be complete to ensure that the elements of size and geometry of all features are controlled, i.e. nothing shall be implied or left to judgement in the workshop or in the inspection department. The use of general tolerances for size and geometry simplifies the task of ensuring that this prerequisite is met.
When selecting the tolerance class, the respective customary workshop accuracy has to be taken into consideration. If smaller tolerances are required or larger tolerances are permissible and more economical for any individual feature, such tolerances should be indicated adjacent to the relevant nominal dimension(s). General tolerances for linear and angular dimensions apply when drawings or associated specifications refer to this part of ISO 2768 in accordance with clauses 4 and 5. If there are general tolerances for other processes, as specified in other International Standards, reference shall be made to them on the drawings or associated specifications. For a dimension between an unfinished and a finished surface, e.g. of cast or forged parts, for which no individual tolerance is directly indicated, the larger of the two general tolerances in question applies, e.g. for castings, see ISO 80621).
1 Scope This part of ISO 2768 is intended to simplify drawing indications and it specifies general tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications in four tolerance classes. --`````,,`,``,,``,`,,,````,,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
NOTE 1 The concepts behind the general tolerancing of linear and angular dimensions are described in annex A.
It applies to the dimensions of parts that are produced by metal removal or parts that are formed from sheet metal. NOTE 2 These tolerances may be suitable for use with materials other than metal. NOTE 3 Parallel International Standards exist or are planned, e.g. see ISO 80621) for castings.
This part of ISO 2768 only applies for the following dimensions which do not have an individual tolerance indication: a) linear dimensions (e.g. external sizes, internal sizes, step sizes, diameters, radii, distances, external radii and chamfer heights for broken edges); b) angular dimensions, including angular dimensions usually not indicated, e.g. right angles (90°), unless reference to ISO 2768-2 is made, or angles of uniform polygons; c) linear and angular dimensions produced by machining assembled parts. It does not apply for the following dimensions: a) linear and angular dimensions which are covered by reference to other standards on general tolerances; b) auxiliary dimensions indicated in brackets; c) theoretically exact dimensions indicated in rectangular frames.

3 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 2768. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 2768 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 2768-2:1989, General tolerances — Part 2: Geometrical tolerances for features without individual tolerance indications. ISO 8015:1985, Technical drawings — Fundamental tolerancing principle.
4 General tolerances 4.1 Linear dimensions General tolerances for linear dimensions are given in Table 1 and Table 2. 4.2 Angular dimensions General tolerances specified in angular units control only the general orientation of lines or line elements of surfaces, but not their form deviations. The general orientation of the line derived from the actual surface is the orientation of the contacting line of ideal geometrical form. The maximum distance between the contacting line and the actual line shall be the least possible value (see ISO 8015).

Annex A (informative) Concepts behind general tolerancing of linear and angular dimensions A.1 General tolerances should be indicated on the drawing by reference to this part of ISO 2768 in accordance with clause 5. The values of general tolerances correspond to tolerance classes of customary workshop accuracy, the appropriate tolerance class being selected and indicated on the drawing according to the requirement for the components. A.2 Above certain tolerance values, there is usually no gain in manufacturing economy by enlarging the tolerance. For example, a feature having a 35 mm diameter could be manufactured to a high level of conformance in a workshop with “customary medium accuracy” Specifying a tolerance of ± 1 mm would be of no benefit in this particular workshop, as the general tolerance values of ± 0,3 mm would be quite adequate. However, if, for functional reasons, a feature requires a smaller tolerance value than the “general tolerances”, then that feature should have the smaller tolerance indicated individually adjacent to the dimension defining its size or angle. This type of tolerance falls outside the scope of general tolerances. In cases where the function of a feature allows a tolerance equal to or larger than the general tolerance values, these should not be indicated 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 tolerancing. There will be “exceptions to the rule” where the function of the feature allows a larger tolerance than the general tolerances, and the larger tolerance will provide manufacturing economy. In these special cases, the larger tolerance should be indicated individually adjacent to the dimension for the particular feature, e.g. the depth of blind holes drilled at assembly. A.3 Using general tolerances leads to the following advantages:
c) the drawing readily indicates which feature can be produced by normal process capability, which also assists quality engineering by reducing inspection levels; d) those dimensions remaining, which have individually indicated tolerances, will, for the most part, be those controlling features for which the function requires relatively small tolerances and which therefore may require special effort in the production — this will be helpful for production planning and will assist quality control services in their analysis of inspection requirements; e) purchase and sub-contract supply engineers can negotiate orders more readily since the “customary workshop accuracy” is known before the contract is placed; this also avoids arguments on delivery between the buyer and the supplier, since in this respect the drawing is complete. These advantages are fully obtained only when there is sufficient reliability that the general tolerances will not be exceeded, i.e. when the customary workshop accuracy of the particular workshop is equal to or finer 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 greater than its customary workshop accuracy; — check by sampling that its customary workshop accuracy does not deteriorate. Relying on undefined “good workmanship” with all its uncertainties and misunderstandings is no longer necessary with the concept of general geometrical tolerances. The general geometrical tolerances define the required accuracy of “good workmanship”. A.4 The tolerance the function allows is often greater than the general tolerance. The function of the part is, therefore, not always impaired when the general tolerance is (occasionally) exceeded at any feature of the workpiece. Exceeding the general tolerance should lead to a rejection of the workpiece only if the function is impaired.
a) drawings are easier to read and thus communication is made more effective to the user of the drawing; b) the design draughtsman saves time by avoiding detailed tolerance calculations as it is sufficient only to know that the function allows a tolerance greater than or equal to the general tolerance; --`````,,`,``,,``,`,,,````,,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
