Building construction - Tolerances for building - Part 5: Series of values to be used for specification of tolerances
Specifies a series of values from which tolerances shall be chosen for dimensional specification of building components and constructions. The basis for the determination of the tolerances to be specified is dealt with in other standards, especially ISO 3443 parts 1 to 4 and ISO 4464.

Overview
ISO 3443-5:1982 - Building construction - Tolerances for building - Part 5: Series of values to be used for specification of tolerances defines a standard series of numerical tolerance values to be used when specifying dimensional tolerances for building components and constructions. This Part does not set the basis for choosing tolerances (that is covered in other Parts of ISO 3443 and related standards); instead it provides the approved set of tolerance widths (in millimetres) from which designers and specifiers should select.
Key topics and requirements
- Series of tolerance values: The standard provides two linked series:
- Main values: ... 10 - 16 - 24 - 40 - 60 - 100 ...
- Intermediate values: ... 12 - 20 - 30 - 50 - 80 ...
- Units: Tolerance values are expressed as tolerance widths in millimetres.
- Extending the series: Series may be extended by multiplying any term by a positive or negative integer power of 10 (i.e., scale by 10^n) to suit the chosen unit or magnitude.
- Selection rule: If a calculated or required tolerance falls between two series values, one of the adjacent series sizes is to be chosen based on technical and economic considerations.
- Purpose: Standardizes the discrete set of tolerances used in specifications and drawings to improve clarity, interchangeability, and procurement consistency.
Applications and who uses it
ISO 3443-5:1982 is practical for professionals who prepare, review, or execute dimensional specifications in building projects:
- Architects and building designers - when specifying allowable dimensional variation for elements and assemblies.
- Structural and civil engineers - to harmonize component tolerances across disciplines.
- Contractors, fabricators, and manufacturers - for production tolerances and quality control.
- Technical drafters and BIM managers - to ensure consistent tolerance notation on drawings and models.
- Surveyors and site inspectors - to interpret specified tolerance limits during acceptance and handover.
Typical applications include specifying fits and clearances for prefabricated components, setting acceptable dimensional ranges for joining elements, and standardizing tolerances on construction and civil engineering drawings.
Related standards
This Part is intended to be used with other standards in the ISO 3443 series and complementary documents:
- ISO 3443 Parts 1–4 (basic principles, statistical basis, calculation of joint clearance, prediction and methods)
- ISO 4464 (relationship between deviation types and tolerances)
- ISO 1803 (tolerances vocabulary)
- ISO 6284 (indication of tolerances on drawings)
Keywords: ISO 3443-5:1982, tolerances for building, tolerance series, dimensional tolerances, tolerance widths, building construction tolerances, specification of tolerances.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards institutes (SS0 member bedies). The work of developing Inter-
national 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 adopted by the technicall committees are circulated to
the member bodies Bor approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 3443/5 was developed by Technical Committee
and was circulated to the member bodies in
ISO/TC 59, Building construction,
November 1981.
lt has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
Australia Finland
