Foreword
ISO (the International Organization 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. 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.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8560:1986), of which it constitutes a
621d8430c6f2/iso-8560-2019
minor revision. The changes to the previous edition are as follows:
— editorial changes to Clause 1;
— normative references in Clause 2 updated.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.
1 Scope
This document lays down rules for the representation of modular sizes, lines and grids on construction
drawings. The basic module M is 100 mm (see ISO 1006).
Generally, modular sizes are for use on design drawings, but can also be added to production drawings
for manufacturing, orientation and location.

4 General
Drawings with modular sizes shall be executed in accordance with ISO 128-1 and ISO 129-1. If necessary,
the drawings should have a note indicating that modular sizes are being used.
Modular: n×M
Basic module: M
Multimodules: 3 M, 6 M, 12 M
Modular sizes: 10 M
Multimodular sizes: 10 × 3 M, 5 × 6 M
Non-modular, if needed: M
6.1 General
Modular lines and sizes shall be represented in accordance with the following figures.
7.1 General
Modular grids shall be drawn with modular lines and shall be represented in accordance with the
following figures.

7.2 Modular grid with different line intervals
(standards.iteh.ai)
Modular grids with different line intervals which are superimposed may be clarified by using a thin line
for the smallest interval, a thick line for the ISOnext largest interval, and so on. (see Figure 6).
