These technical requirements stipulated in this standard shall base upon the independent principle stipulated in GB/T 4249, that is, each dimension, shape and status requirement is independent, they shall meet the requirements independently.
Technological documents shall only be labeled with linear dimension and angular dimension or geometric illustration, but not solely labeled with tolerance shall be regarded as unsoundness if there is no general tolerance referring instructions, excluding the temporary dimension.
