Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnicai standardization.
Draft international Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires
approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Amendment 1 to International Standard IS0 4156 : 1981 was prepared by Technical

applied to table 124, taking account of the measuring length of gauges given in tables 122 and 123. The values of E and E, given in table 121 are
rounded values.
2 The values given for 2 and 2, (corresponding to the position of the GO gauge tolerance zone, in relation to the GO limit of the workpiece; see table
120) are the part of the gauge tolerance which is based on the theoretical space width or tooth thickness.
3 The values given for Y and Y, (corresponding to the displacement, outside the GO workpiece limit, of the wear limit of gauge; see table 120) have

However, for the part of the gauge tolerance based on the pitch diameter, a shift of the NOT GO gauge tolerance zone and of the wear
limit of the GO gauge with respect to the checked limits of pieces shall be taken into account.
The shift, for which values a for plug gauges and a, for ring gauges are given in ISO/R 1938, is intended to compensate measuring
