National foreword

This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Machine,
Engineers and Hand Tools Standards Policy Committee and is the English
language version of EN 22768-1:1993 General tolerances — Part 1: Tolerances for
linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications,
published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is identical
with ISO 2768-1:1989 published by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). This standard supersedes BS 4500-3:1973, which is

A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
