Foreword

SS0 (the International Qrganization for Standardization) is a worldwide

federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Interna-
tional Standard requires approval by at least 75 % sf the member bodies
casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 610 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 82, /hing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the fit-st edition
(ISO 610:1979), of which it constitutes a technical revision. All refer-
ences to ISO/R 347 have been replaced by a reference to ISO 75004.
Annexes A, B, C, D, E and F of this International Standard are for infor-
mation only.

The length so measured shall not vary from the sum
of nominal inside lengths (i.e. pitches) of the indi-
vidual links by more than

When measured under the setting forte stated in
