This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Machine,
Engineers and Hand Tools Standards Policy Committee and is the English
language version of EN 22768-1:1993 General tolerances Part 1: Tolerances for
linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications,
published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is identical
with ISO 2768-1:1989 published by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). This standard supersedes BS 4500-3:1973, which is
withdrawn.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,

This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on
the inside front cover.

Foreword
In 1991, the International Standard
ISO 2768-1:1989 General tolerances
Part 1: Tolerances for linear and angular
dimensions without individual tolerance indications
was submitted to the CEN Primary Questionnaire

Following the positive result of the CEN/CS
Proposal, ISO 2768-1:1989 was submitted to the
Formal Vote.
The result of the Formal Vote was positive.
This European Standard shall be given the status of
a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by
October 1993, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 1993.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal
Regulations, the following countries are bound to
implement this European Standard: Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom.
NOTE The European references to international publications
are given in annex ZA (normative).
