FOREWORD
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards institutes (ISO member bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards to the member bodies for Standards by the ISO Council.

1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION


This International Standard specifies recommended scales and their designation for use on all technical drawings in any field of engineering.

the ratio

1 : 1.
NOTE - If, for special applications, there is need for a larger enlargement scale or a smaller reduction scale than those shown in the table, the recommended range of scales may be extended in either direction, provided that the required scale be derived from a recommended scale by multiplying by whole number powers of 10. In exceptional cases where for functional reasons the recommended scales cannot be applied, intermediate scales may be Chosen.

2.3 enlargernent scale : A scale where the ratio is larger than 1 : 1. lt is said to be larger as its ratio increasesS. 2.4 reduction scale : A scale where the ratio is smaller than 1 : 1. lt is said to be smaller as its ratio decreases.

DESIGNATION

The complete designation of a scale shall consist of the word SCALE (or its equivalent in the language used on the drawing) followed by the indication of its ratio, as foIlows : SCALE SCALE SCALE 1 : 1 for full size; X : 1 for enlargement 1 : X for reduction of scales; scales. the word
