ISO 8062-3:2007(E)

5 Tolerance grades

5.1 General
Individual dimensional and geometrical tolerances shall be indicated in accordance with the relevant GPS
standards on dimensional and geometrical tolerancing.

If using general tolerances, the necessity of smaller tolerances (for functional reasons) or of larger tolerances
(for economical reasons) needs to be ascertained (see Annex C). In both cases, individual tolerances shall be
indicated.

For drawings where the tolerances in accordance with this part of ISO 8062 only apply under specified,
restricted conditions, ISO 10579 shall be referred to on the drawing.

5.2 Dimensional casting tolerance grades (DCTG)

Sixteen linear dimensional casting tolerance grades are defined and designated as DCTG 1 to DCTG 16 (see
Table 2).

NOTE 1 For wall thicknesses, see Clause 7.

a For wall thicknesses in grades DCTG 1 to DCTG 15, one grade coarser applies (see Clause 7).
b Grade DCTG 16 exists only for wall thicknesses of castings generally specified to DCTG 15.

NOTE 2 Annex A gives recommendations for the application of the above tolerance grades.

As the default conditions for the dimensions, the casting tolerance shall be symmetrically disposed with
respect to the nominal dimension, i.e. with one half on the positive side and one half on the negative side.
