To orderGeometrical product specification, which has gone through a complete overhaul to fit a new standardization landscape, represents a strategic component of any industry.
Some of the latest updates to ISO-GPS standards have entailed a number of major fixes. The normative revision process has picked up pace,and industrial design needs that had so far escaped coverage have finally now been standardized.Today’s standards are a whole different species to yesterday’s standards.

This handbook is intended as an easy- reference pocket companion, and so features a hands-on index with a clear and readable key system. It also features a glossary giving definitions for a handful of the main key terms.Four of these chapters get down to the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the topic : |

The point of departure that sparked this new handbook was the overhauled training programme (1) on ISO-GPS (tolerancing) standards for Renault. The original way in for training on ISO-GPS (tolerancing) standards was directly via the standards, but although this approach looked salient at the outlet, it soon showed its limits as learners repeatedly ran into reiterations and inconsistencies between the original-version standards.The new training programme proposes (ISO-GPS standards) a new system, where learning sets out from the needs of the product or process designers, each need being paired up to the standards required to meet it. The eight or nine application standards first identified have swelled into close-on two dozen—some already approved, others in final draft stage, but all converging to create a continuous thread tying together knowledge and know-how (2). Re-categorizing the standards into different levels has given an easy-to-understand picture of their role in how design engineers research, code and de-code the specification. This overhaul was necessary on many fronts, not least for structuring skillsets and understanding the normative language employed. All the draft standards have since emerged as approved standards. The move to integrate the draft-phase standards made it possible to gain early feedback and build a capital of insights and experience vital to product development.I am sincerely grateful to all those who extended their invaluable support as I authored this handbook. Their expert insights, critical proofreads, and valuable advice were precious assets:
