BS EN ISO 8560:1999 pdf free.Construction drawings – Representation of modular sizes, lines and grids.
BS EN ISO 8560 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 should be used on design drawings. Construction and work sizes should be used on production drawings.
Modular sizes, lines and grids make the planning and design work easier. Multimodular grids may be added, to a limited extent, on construction drawings for manufacturing and construction for orientation and location.

3 General
Drawings with modular sizes shall be executed in accordance with ISO 128 and ISO 2595. If necessary, the
drawings should have a note indicating that modular sizes are being used.
4 Designations of modular sizes
4.1 Drawings with sizes indicated in modules (instead of in millimetres or metres) shou1d have a clear note explaining that this is the case.
6 Representation of modular grids
6.1 Modular grids shall be drawn with modular lines.
6.2 Modular grids with different line intervals which are superimposed may be clarified by using a thin line
for the smallest interval, a thick line for the next largest interval, etc. (see Figure 6).
