scope:

This standard applies to the tolerances specified in Clause 5. It applies to structures and components.

The specified tolerances apply for the execution of works in building construction irrespective of the materials used.

The purpose of this standard is to lay down principles for tolerances and to specify procedures for compliance control.

This standard does not deal with deformation as a function of time, loading and temperature.

Variations in height between adjacent components (e.g. the joints in filigree floors, floor coverings or wall cladding or lining) are not within the scope of this standard. These shall be considered separately.
