Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established 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.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

of ISO 3098, to be used in technical product documentation (in particular on technical drawings). It
includes basic conventions as well as rules for the application of lettering using the following techniques:
a) free-hand lettering (by means of an underlaid “grid”);
b) templates and manual lettering instruments;
c) dry transfer systems;

references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 128-20, Technical drawings — General principles of presentation — Part 20: Basic conventions for lines
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
central line
imaginary line in the middle of each line or line element which is a constitutive part of a graphic character set
Note 1 to entry: Lines may be drawn by means of tubular technical pens conforming with ISO 9175-1.
Note 2 to entry: The central line is the basic datum for the design of tools for lettering, e.g. engraving tools for
templates, programs for lettering generators.
3.2
graphic character set
finite set of different graphic characters in a fixed type of lettering, including letters of a certain alphabet,
numerals, diacritical marks, punctuation marks and additional graphical symbols, that is considered
complete for a given purpose
Note 1 to entry: See ISO/IEC 2382-4:1999, 04.03.
3.3
lettering
ISO 3098-1:2015(E)
3.3.1
lettering
procedure of writing graphic characters taken from a graphic character set on a (technical) drawing
carrier (in addition to the graphical representation)
3.3.2
lettering
whole of the nongraphical information on a (technical) drawing carrier (text, instructions, dimensions, etc.)
3.3.3
lettering
whole of the graphic characters of a graphic character set which can be used for transferring non-
graphical information on to a (technical) drawing carrier
4 General requirements
4.1 The basic characteristics required of lettering are given in 4.2 to 4.4.
4.2 Legibility, which shall be maintained by a space between characters of twice the line width used for
lettering. This spacing may be reduced to one line width for a better visual effect with combinations of
particular characters.
EXAMPLE LA, TV or Tr
4.3 Suitability for the generally used copying processes (diazo copying, microfilming, telefax, etc.).
4.4 Suitability for numerically controlled draughting systems.
5 Dimensions
5.1 Nominal size
The nominal size of lettering is defined by the height (h) of the outline contour of the upper-case (upper
case) letters (see Figure 1 and Tables 1 and 2).
The dimensions shown in Figures 1 to 3 as applied to the Latin (L) alphabet shall also be applied to the
Cyrillic (C) and Greek (G) alphabets.
