Overview
EN ISO 5457:1999 (ISO 5457:1999) specifies the sizes and layout of preprinted drawing sheets used for technical product documentation. It applies across engineering disciplines and to drawings produced manually or by computer (CAD). The standard ensures consistent sheet formats and layout conventions so drawings, title blocks and revision areas are readable, exchangeable and suitable for archiving and reproduction.
Key topics
- Standardized sheet sizes and format - definition of uniform sheet formats for technical drawings to support interoperability and document management.
- Layout elements - guidance on placement of borders, drawing area and zones for views and details.
- Title block and information fields - location and organization of essential metadata (document title, author, scale, date, revision).
- Margins and clear zones - recommended margins to allow binding, scanning and reproduction without losing critical information.
- Compatibility with computer-produced drawings (CAD) - layout requirements that apply equally to digital printouts and preprinted stationery.
- Applicability to other technical documents - use beyond pure engineering drawings, for example schematics, assembly instructions and maps.
(Note: EN ISO 5457:1999 defines the above topics at a format-and-layout level; consult the full standard for exact diagrammatic rules and measured values.)
Applications
Who uses this standard and why:
- Mechanical, civil and electrical engineers - for consistent drawing presentation across projects.
- CAD managers and drafters - to set up template files, title blocks and plot layouts that meet organizational or contractual requirements.
- Technical authors and document controllers - to standardize document storage, retrieval and printing workflows.
- Manufacturers and suppliers - to ensure exchanged drawings conform to a common layout for production and quality control.
- Standards officers and auditors - to verify documentation compliance and support traceability.
Benefits:
- Improved readability, interchangeability and archival quality of drawings
- Reduced errors in manufacturing and maintenance due to consistent metadata placement
- Easier automation of drawing processing, stamping and indexing
Related standards
EN ISO 5457 is typically used alongside other drawing and documentation standards covering graphical symbols, dimensioning and title block content. Organizations often reference it together with ISO standards for drawing presentation and document metadata when establishing a complete technical documentation system.
