In accordance with the CEN/CENELEC intemal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the folowing counties ae bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmetk, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, iceland, ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherianss, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzoriand, and the United Kingdom. 1 Scope ‘This European Standard specifies general tolerances for linear and angular dimensions anc for shape and position ot welded structures in four tolerance classes, these being based on customary workshop accuracy. The main erite- rion for the selection of ¢ particular tolerance class should be the functional requirements wnich are to be met. ‘The spplicaale tolerances are always those which are stated In tha Grawing. Instead of specifying InaWicual toe ecances, the tolerance classes according {0 this standard may b0 used. General tolerances for linear and angular dimensions and for shape and position ae epdcitied in thi standard apply for welcments, welding assemblies and welded structures ete. Special provisions may be necessary for complex siruce tures, ‘The spaciiications given in this standard are based on the principle of independency as specitied in |S0 8016, ao: cording to whicn the dimensional and geometrical toler- ances apply independenty of each other. Manutacturng documentation in which linear end angular ‘dimensions or indications for shape end position are pre~ ‘sonted without individually indicated tolerances shall be ‘deemed incompieie If there Is no, or inadequate, reference to general tolerances, This does not apply to temporary dimensions. 2 Normative references Ts European Standard incorpraos, by dated or undated fence, provisions from othe: publications.
