Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting,
This part of IS0 286 has been prepared by ISO/TC 3, Limits and fits, and, together
with IS0 286-2, completes the revision of ISO/R 286, /SO system of limits and fits.
ISO/R 266 was first published in 1962 and subsequently confirmed in November 1964;
it was based on ISA Bulletin 25 first published in 1940.
The major changes incorporated
in this part of IS0 266 are as follows :
a1 The presentation of the information has been modified so that IS0 286 can be
used directly in both the design office and the workshop. This has been achieved by
separating the material dealing with the bases of the system, and the calculated
values of standard tolerances and fundamental deviations, from the tables giving
specific limits of the most commonly used tolerances and deviations.
b) The new symbols js and JS replace the former symbols j, and Js (i.e. s and S
are no longer placed as subscripts) to facilitate the use of the symbols on equipment
with limited character sets, e.g. computer graphics. The letters s and S stand
for symmetrical deviation.
c) Standard tolerances and fundamental deviations have been included for basic
sizes from 566 to 3 156 mm as standard requirements (these were previously
included on an experimental basis only).
Two additional standard tolerance grades, IT17 and IT18, have been included.
e) Standard tolerance grades IT01 and IT0 have been deleted from the main body
of this part of IS0 286, although information on these grades is given in annex A
for users who may have a requirement for such grades.
f)
Inch values have been deleted.
g) The principles, terminology

by contemporary technology.
and symbols have been aligned with those required
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

Introduction
and fits
Field of application
The need for limits and fits for machined workpieces was
brought about mainly by the inherent inaccuracy of manufacturing methods, coupled with the fact that exactness of size
was found to be unnecessary for most workpieces. In order
that function could be satisfied, it was found sufficient to
manufacture a given workpiece so that its size lay within two
permissible limits, i.e. a tolerance, this being the variation in
size acceptable in manufacture.
The IS0 system of limits and fits provides a system

tolerances and deviations suitable for plain workpieces.
Similarly, where a specific fit condition is required between

mating workpieces, it is necessary to ascribe an allowance,
either positive or negative, to the basic size to achieve the required clearance or interference, i.e. a deviation.
In particular, the general term hole or shaft can be taken

as referring to the space contained by (or containing) the two
parallel faces (or tangent planes) of any workpiece, such as the
width of a slot or the thickness of a key.
With developments in industry and international trade, it

became necessary to develop formal systems of limits and fits,
firstly at the industrial level, then at the national level and later
at the international level.
The system also provides for fits between mating cylindrical

features or fits between workpieces having features with
parallel faces, such as the fit between a key and keyway, etc.
This International Standard therefore gives the internationally

accepted system of limits and fits.
Annexes A and B give the basic formulae and rules necessary
for establishing the system, and examples in the use of the
standard are to be regarded as an integral part of the standard.
For simplicity and also because of the importance of cylindrical

workpieces of circular section, only these are referred to explicitly. It should be clearly understood, however, that the
tolerances and deviations given in this International Standard
equally apply to workpieces of other than circular section.
NOTE - It should be noted that the system is not intended to provide

fits for workpieces with features having other than simple geometric
forms.
For the purposes of this part of IS0 286, a simple geometric form
consists of a cylindrical surface area or two parallel planes.

Annex C gives a list of equivalent terms used in IS0 286 and
other International Standards on tolerances.

5.3.1.1
Linear size tolerances
A linear size tolerance controls only the actual local sizes (twopoint measurements) of a feature, but not its form deviations
(for example circularity and straightness deviations of a cylindrical feature or flatness deviations of parallel surfaces). There
is no control of the geometrical interrelationship of individual
features by the size tolerances. (For further information, see
ISO/R 1936 and IS0 6615.)

The major terms and definitions given in clause 4 are illustrated

in figure 15.
In practice, a schematic diagram such as that shown in
figure 16 is used for simplicity. In this diagram, the axis of the
workpiece, which is not shown in the figure, according to convention always lies below the diagram.
In the example illustrated, the two deviations of the hole are
positive and those of the shaft are negative.
Envelope requirement
Single features, whether a cylinder, or established by two

parallel planes, having the function of a fit between mating
parts, are indicated on the drawing by the symbol @ in addition to the dimension and tolerance. This indicates a mutual
dependence of size and form which requires that the envelope
of perfect form for the feature at maximum material size shall
not be violated, (For further information, see ISO/R 1936 and
IS0 8015.1
Upper deviation (4.6.1 .l) Lower deviation (4.6.1.2) -

For holes
The diameter of the largest perfect imaginary cylinder,

which can be inscribed within the hole so that it just contacts the highest points of the surface, should not be smaller
than the maximum material limit of size. The maximum
diameter at any position in the hole shall not exceed the
least material limit of size.

For shafts
The diameter of the smallest perfect imaginary cylinder,

which can be circumscribed about the shaft so that it just
contacts the highest points of the surface, should not be
larger than the maximum material limit of size. The minimum diameter at any position on the shaft shall be not less
than the least material limit of size.

General
A.2
This annex gives the bases of the IS0 system of limits and fits.
The data are given primarily so that values can be calculated for
fundamental deviations, which may be required in very special
circumstances and which are not given in the tables, and also
so that a more complete understanding of the system is
provided.
4 -
size steps
For convenience, the standard tolerances and fundamental

deviations are not calculated individually for each separate
basic size, but for steps of the basic size as given in table 4.
These steps are grouped into main steps and intermediate
steps. The intermediate steps are only used in certain cases for
calculating standard tolerances and fundamental deviations
a to c and r to zc for shafts, and A to C and R to ZC for
holes.
It is once more emphasized that the tabulated values in either

this part of IS0 286 or IS0 286-2, for standard tolerances and
fundamental deviations, are definitive, and shall be used when
applying the system.

to 3 150 mm
As stated in the Foreword, the IS0 system is derived from

ISA Bulletin 25, which only covered basic sizes up to 500 mm,
and was mainly based on practical experience in industry. The
system was not developed from a coherent mathematical base,
and hence there are discontinuities in the system and differing
formulae for the deviation of IT grades up to 500 mm.
The values for standard tolerances for basic sizes from 500 mm
up to 3 150 mm (incl.) were subsequently developed for experimental purposes, and since they have proved acceptable to
industry they are now given as a part of the IS0 system.
It should be noted that values for standard tolerances in grades
IT0 and IT01 are not given in the main body of the standard
because they have little use in practice; however, values for
these are given in table 5.

Standard
tolerance
grades IT5 to IT18
The values for standard tolerances in grades IT5 to IT18 for

basic sizes up to and including 500 mm are determined as a
function of the standard tolerance factor, i.
The standard tolerance factor, i, in micrometres,
from the following formula :
is calculated
+ 0,OOlD
where D is the geometric mean of the basic size step in

millimetres (see clause A-21.
This formula was empirically derived, being based on various
national practices and on the premise that, for the same manufacturing process, the relationship between the magnitude of
the manufacturing errors and the basic size approximates a
parabolic function.
The values of the standard tolerances are calculated in terms of
the standard tolerance factor, i, as shown in table 7.
It should be noted that from IT6 upwards, the standard
tolerances are multiplied by a factor of 10 at each fifth step.
This rule applies to all standard tolerances and may be used to
extrapolate values for IT grades above IT18.
Example :
IT20 = IT15 x 10 = 640i x 10 = 6400i
NOTE - The above rule applies except for IT6 in the basic size range
from 3 to 6 mm (incl.).

The values of standard tolerances in grades ITOI, IT0 and IT1

noted that no formulae are given for grades IT2, IT3 and IT4.
The values for tolerances in these grades have been approximately scaled in geometrical progression between the values
for IT1 and IT5.

The values for standard tolerances in grades IT1 to IT18 are

determined as a function of the standard tolerance factor, I.
The standard tolerance factor, I, in micrometres,
from the following formula :

The values of the standard tolerances are calculated in terms of

the standard tolerance factor, Z, as shown in table 7.
It should be noted that from IT6 upwards, the standard
tolerances are multiplied by a factor of 10 at each fifth step.
This rule applies to all standard tolerances and may be used to
extrapolate values for IT grades above IT18.

1 The formulae for standard tolerances in grades IT1 to IT5 are

given on a provisional basis only. (These did not appear in
ISO/R 286 : 1352.)
1 For the small values in particular, it has sometimes been necessary

to depart from these rules, and, in some instances, even from the
application of the formulae given in A.3.2 and A.3.3 in order to ensure
better scaling. Therefore the values given for the standard tolerances in
tables 1 and 5, as appropriate, shall be used in preference to calculated
values when applying the IS0 system.
2 Although the formulae for i and Zvary, continuity of progression is

assured for the transition range.

table 1 and for IT0 and IT01 in table 5.

deviations
For each basic size step, the values obtained from the formulae
given in A.3.2 and A.3.3, for standard tolerances in grades up
to and including ITII, are rounded off in accordance with the
rules given in table 8.
A.4.1
The calculated values of standard tolerances in grades above

IT1 1 do not require rounding off because they are derived from
values of tolerance grades IT7 to IT1 1, which have already been
rounded off.
The fundamental deviation given by the formulae in table 9 is,

in principle, that corresponding to the limits closest to the zero
line, i.e. the upper deviation for shafts a to h and the lower
deviation for shafts k to zc.

Fundamental

for shafts
The fundamental deviations for shafts are calculated from the

formulae given in table 9.
19
IS0 288-l
: 1988 (E)
Except for shafts j and js, for which, strictly speaking, there is
no fundamental deviation, the value of the deviation is independent of the selected grade of tolerance (even if the formula

A.4.2
Fundamental
deviations
Hole-basis fit
Shaft-basis fit
(ei) + IT(n-I)= (ES) + ITn

(ei)- ITn=(fS)- ITh-I)
for holes
The fundamental deviations for holes are calculated from the

formulae given in table 9 and, therefore, the limit corresponding to the fundamental deviation for a hole is exactly symmetrical, in relation to the zero line, to the limit corresponding
to the fundamental deviation for a shaft with the same letter.
This rule applies to all fundamental
following :
deviations except for the
a) deviation N, for standard tolerance grades IT9 to IT16 in

basic sizes above 3 mm up to 500 mm (incl.), for which the
fundamental deviation is zero;
b) shaft or hole basis fits, for basic sizes above 3 up to
600 mm (incl.), in which a hole of a given standard tolerance
grade is associated with a shaft of the next finer grade (e.g.
H7/p6 and P7/h6), and which are required to have exactly
the same clearance or interferences, see figure 20.
In these cases, the fundamental deviation, as calculated, is
adjusted by algebraically adding the value of d as follows :
ES = ES (as calculated) + d
where d is the difference ITn - IT(n - 1) between the
standard tolerance, for the basic size step in the given
grade, and that in the next finer grade.
Example :
Figure 20 -

representation
given in A.4.2bl
of the rule
The fundamental deviation given by the formulae in table 9 is,

in principle, that corresponding to the limits closest to the zero
line, i.e. the lower deviation for holes A to H and the upper
deviation for holes K to ZC.
Except for holes J and JS, for which, strictly speaking, there is
no fundamental deviation, the value of the deviation is independent of the selected grade of tolerance (even if the formula
includes a term involving ITn).
For P7 in the basic size range from 18 up to 30 mm :
A = IT7 - IT6 = 21 - 13 = 8 pm
NOTE - The rule given in b) above is only applicable for basic sizes
over 3 m m for fundamental deviations K, M and N in standard
tolerance grades up to and including IT8, and deviations P to ZC in
standard tolerance grades up to and including IT7.

This annex gives examples in the use of the IS0 system of limits

B.3.1 Determining
0 4Ogll
The numerical values of the upper and lower deviations for the
more generally used basic size steps, fundamental deviations
and tolerance grades have been calculated and are tabulated in
IS0 286-2.
Basic size step : 30 to 50 mm (from table 4)
the limits
of size for a shaft
Standard tolerance = 160 pm (from table 1)

Fundamental deviation = -9 pm (from table 2)
In special cases, not covered by IS0 286-2, the appropriate

upper and lower deviations, and hence the limits of size, can be
calculated from the data given in fables 1 to 3, and tables 4 to 6
in#annex A in this part of IS0 286.
Upper deviation = fundamental

Lower deviation
deviation = -9 pm
= fundamental deviation - tolerance

Review
of special
features
A summary of the features and factors which shall be taken

into consideration when using this part of IS0 286 to derive
upper and lower deviations for special cases is given below:
shafts and holes a, A, b, B are provided only for basic
sizes greater than 1 mm;
shafts j8 are provided only for basic sizes less than or
equal to 3 mm;
holes K in tolerance grades above IT8 are provided only
for basic sizes less than or equal to 3 mm;
shafts and holes t, T, v, V and y, Y are only provided
for basic sizes greater than 24 mm, 14 mm and 18 mm,
respectively (for smaller basic sizes, the deviations are practically the same as those of the adjacent tolerance grades) ;
tolerance grades IT14 to IT18 are only provided for
basic sizes greater than 1 mm;
holes N of tolerance grades above IT8 are only provided
for basic sizes greater than 1 mm.
