Relationship between tolerances of size,

Envelope requirement without individual indication on the drawing
Zusammenhang zwischen Ma8-, Form- und Paralleltats- This standard, together with

supersedes
DIN 7184 Part 1, May 1972 edition.
Inkeeping with current practice in standards published by the international Organization for Standardization (ISO), acomma
hhas been used throughout as the decimal marker.
1 Scope and field of application
The specifications given inthis standard with regard to the relationship between tolerances of size, form and parallelism
apply to drawings in which no reference is made in or close to the drawing ttle block to thelr being toleranced in accord
ance with ISO 8015 (or with its predecessor, DIN 2300),
The purpose of this standard is to clarify the corresponding specifications previously given in DIN 7184 Part 1. Itis the
national standard referred to in subclause 7.2 of ISO 8015 (issued as a DIN ISO Standard in July 1986), which lays down
that the envelope requirement for single features is the norm and therefore does not need to be separately specified on
the drawing
2 Envelope requirement without indication on the drawing
Inthe case of drawings based on DIN Standards on tolerances and fits and with no specifications to the contrary (e..
reference to ISO 8018), the envelope requirement (see figure 1) shall apply for all features without its being seperately
indicated on the drawing
This envelope requirement corresponds tothe envelope requirement specified in subctause 6.1 of iSO 8015 which states
that, for a single feature, ie, a cylindrical surface ora feature established by two parallel plane surfaces, the envelope of
perfect form at maximum material size of the feature shall not be violated.
That means thatthe deviations of form and the deviations from parallelism of opposing plane surtaces are controlled by
the dimensional tolerance, unless other more specific tolerances are indicated for the features concerned by means of
the symbols specified in ISO 1101, the values of these tolerances being greater than that ofthe dimensional tolerance of
the feature.

Amendments
‘The following amendments have been made in comparison with the May 1972 edition of DIN 7184 Part 1.
‘Specifications with regard to the relationship between tolerances of size, form and position have been restricted to single
features. All other specifications of DIN 7184 Part 1 that reproduce specifications given in ISO 1101 ~ 1984 have now been
included in the equivalent German version of that standard, DIN ISO 1101,
Explanatory notes
DIN 7184 Part 1, though largely based on ISO/R 1101/1, deviated from that Recommendation in itsincluding a specification to
the effect that dimensional tolerances also control the deviations of form and position (except for the deviations trom
symmetry, coaxiality and run-out, and except where reference is made to particular specifications)
‘Owing to its different interpretation in different countries, the relationship between tolerances of size, form and position was
inneed of clarification, That prompted the publication of ISO 8015 - 1988, in which the “principle of independency” is defined
{8 @ fundamental tolerancing principle.
Nevertheless, the envelope requirement without indication on the drawing continues to be applied, whichis the reason forthe
publication of the present standard, DIN 7167.
It deviates from the specifications previously glvenin DIN 7184 Part 1 asregards the relationship between the deviations from
rectangularity and the dimensional tolerances. Up to now, the rule was that deviations from rectangularity should lie within the
dimensional tolerances, measured in the rectangular system of coordinates. n industrial practice, however, this limitation
was and is hardly ever observed, since there is seldom a functional requirement for it
‘Much the same statement is made in DIN 7168 Part 2. However, when the standard is next revised, to bring it into line with the
corresponding international standard on general geometrical tolerances (ISO 2768 Part 2, at present at the stage of draft)
‘general tolerances will be specified for ractangularity independently of the dimensional tolerances.
The specification that the dimensional tolerances also include the deviations from rectangularity wes a departure from the
specifications of 1SO 1101 that was only valid in the Federal Republic of Germany. It has now been withdrawn because it
‘contradicts the principle of independency as set out in SO 8018. According to the definition of the envelope requirement in
1S0 8015, the dimensional tolerance can only control the form deviations of a feature, the geometry of which can be exactly
described by a single indication on the drawing cylinder, or two parallel plane surfaces). Only those features which satisfy this
definition can be checked in respect of their maintaining the maximum material limits of size with the aid of a GO gauge in
‘accordance with Taylor's principle (see DIN 7150 Part 2)
‘Asarule, no indications are entered on drawings which have been or will be prepared on the basis ofthe relationship between
tolerances of size, form and parallelism as presented in this standard. However, to avoid misunderstandings occurring when
‘drawings are intended for use in different countries, a reference may, it necessary, be made to this standard in or close to the
drawing ttle block, as follows:
