Fittings and components whose
location is crucial to the force path
in the structure, the deviation from
the intended position shall not
exceed .


Permitted Deviations for Elements of Fabricated Members

2 Position of Holes
The deviation from the intended
position of an isolated hole, also a
group of holes, relative to each other
shall not exceed

The distortion caused by a

punched hole shall not exceed
(see clause 4.6.3)
= D/10 or 1mm

shall not exceed
5 Flatness
Where bearing is specified, the
flatness shall be such that when
measured against a straight edge
not exceeding one metre long,
which is laid against the full
bearing surface in any direction, the
gap does not exceed
