ISO/TC 10/SC 8 - Construction documentation

This document lays down rules for the representation of modular sizes, lines and grids on construction drawings. The basic module M is 100 mm (see ISO 1006). Generally, modular sizes are for use on design drawings, but can also be added to production drawings for manufacturing, orientation and location.

ISO 13567-2:2017 covers the organization and allocation of layers for CAD on construction projects for the purposes of communication and management.

ISO 13567-1:2017 establishes the general principles of layer structuring within CAD files. Layers are used to control visibility and to manage and communicate CAD file data. Layer names are used to represent this structure. The principles are applicable to all parties involved in preparing and using technical documentation on computer systems. Although these principles are primarily for users, CAD system developers are expected to provide software tools capable of implementing and supporting ISO 13567-1:2017. An important use is also to structure data in component libraries produced by third parties.

ISO 128-43:2015 defines two projection methods used in building drawings, namely ? direct orthographic projection method and ? mirrored orthographic projection method, and also provides the symbols applicable for each method.

ISO/TR 16310:2014 intends to specify the requirements and needs for supplying and managing standardized symbolic descriptions of objects that need to be specified in the construction process. Within this context, the term "symbol" is interpreted to cover pure symbolic presentation as well as simplified representation of geometrical shapes of objects.

ISO 3766:2003 specifies the simplified representation and the characterization of reinforcement in reinforced and in prestressed concrete for use in construction drawings. It also establishes a system for the scheduling of reinforced bars, comprising a method for specifying dimensions, a coding system for bar shapes, a schedule of preferred shapes and shape and bending schedules.

This part of ISO 4157 specifies requirements for designation systems and a designation code for buildings, including spaces, building elements and components.

This part of ISO 4157 establishes requirements for designation systems for rooms, areas, spaces, and voids in buildings by room identifiers. It introduces a new designation concept intended for identification of rooms in a project throughout its life cycle, i.e. the conception, programming, planning, erection, maintenance, remodelling and demolition phases.

Specifies methods for the indication of limit deviations on construction drawings.

Establishes general rules and specifies graphical symbols and simplified representations for landscape drawing practice. The graphical symbols and simplified representations are jointly referred to as conventions. The conventions given in International Standards which are applicable to landscape drawings are presented in annex A.

Establishes general requirements, thicknesses of lines, and the simplified representation of doors and windows. Describes the conventional representation, and gives arrow symbols. Annex A is for information only.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4172 :1981), clause 2 and subclause 4.3 of which have been technically revised. Specifies general rules for the preparation of working drawings intended for the field assembly of prefabricated structures for building and civil engineering works. Gives normative references, definitions, documentation, designation of prefabricated structural components.

Specifies requirements concerning the placing, layout and contents of spaces for drawing and for text, and title blocks on construction drawings. Nine figures illustrate details.

Specifies rules for symbols and markings in general arrangement drawings and assembly drawings. In general the applications shown concern plans. Views and sections can be shown similarly. Outlines, dimensions and information in texts and the representation of building construction and parts of buildings are listed in form of tables.

ISO 128-33:2018 lays down general rules for marking, designation, placing and orientation of views, sections and cuts, and the position of text in relation to figures on construction drawings. For all general rules, reference is made to the relevant parts of the ISO 128 series. As regards relative positions of views, the method using reference arrows according to ISO 128‑30 is used.

ISO 82045-5:2005 specifies metadata elements and methods for sharing and exchanging management data (metadata) for documents, to be used with electronic or paper-based document management systems. The document concept, which includes CAD files and all other information entities that need to be managed, is defined in IEC 82045-1. The specific application domain for ISO 82045-5:2005 is the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) and FM (facility management) sectors.

This part of ISO 128 specifies types of lines and their application in construction documentation comprising architectural drawings, structural engineering drawings, building service engineering drawings, civil engineering drawings, landscape drawings and town planning drawings.

Establishes a system for the scheduling of reinforcing bars, and comprises the method of indicating dimensions; a coding system for bar shapes; a list of preferred shapes; the bar schedule. Applies to all types of steel bar for the reinforcement of concrete. Does not apply to steel fabric and prestressing steel reinforcement.

The major differences between the manual drawing practice and the CAD technique are identified, and an attempt is made to rationalize the use of the CAD technique in the construction industry. The layout of a drawing system using this technique is outlined in figure 1. Limitations of the manual and automated computer-aided systems are indicated as well as their similarities, differences and correlation. A glossary of terms is included.

In the rules laid down the basic module M is 100 mm (see ISO 1006).Planning and design work is made easier by modular sizes. Multimodular grids may be added, to a limited extent, in construction drawings for manufacturing and construction, for orientation and location.

General rules are layed down for marking, designation, placing and orientation and the position of text in relation to figures. For all general rules reference is made to ISO 128. As regards relative positions of views, the method using reference arrows according to ISO 128 is applied.

The representations are primarily intended for use on plans and diagrams at a scale 1 : 50. For smaller scale drawings more simplified and for larger scale drawings more detailed representations may be used. For diagrams the representation in column "Elevation" will normally be apparopriate. For making the drawing clearer the views may be combined with symbols and/or abbreviated component references, which are explained in the drawing or elsewhere.

Refers to ISO 128, Technical drawings - principles of presentation. Establishes general rules and methods represented by 11 figures. It does not include indications for specific materials.

Two methods are defined and the symbols specified as shown in the figures. The direct orthogonal projection is symbolized by two parallel arrows running vertically to a dash-and-dot line, and the mirror-inverted orthogonal projection by two parallel double arrows running vertically to a dash-and-dot line.
