Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www . i so .org/ iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1660:1987), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
— the requirements for defining the theoretically exact feature (the nominal geometry) have been
made more explicit;
— the definition of what constitutes the toleranced feature has been clarified and updated to follow
the feature principle, (see ISO 8015:2011, 5.5);
— tools for defining specifications for restricted features and compound features have been added;
— tools for defining specifications using unequally disposed or offset tolerance zones have been added;
— tools for defining specifications using tolerance zone of variable width have been added.

Introduction
This document is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general
GPS standard (see ISO 14638). It influences the chain links A, B and C of the chains of standards on
form, orientation and location.
The ISO GPS Masterplan given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO GPS system of which this
document is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this document and
the default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this
document, unless otherwise indicated.
For more detailed information of the relation of this document to the GPS matrix model, see Annex D.
This document provides rules for profile tolerancing.
For the presentation of lettering (proportions and dimensions), see ISO 3098-2.
All figures in this document for the 2D drawing indications have been drawn in first-angle projection
with dimensions and tolerances in millimetres. It should be understood that third-angle projection
and other units of measurement could have been used equally well without prejudice to the principles
established. For all figures giving specification examples in 3D, the dimensions and tolerances are the
same as for the similar figures shown in 2D.
The figures in this document represent either 2D drawing views or 3D axonometric views on 2D
drawings and are intended to illustrate how a specification can be fully indicated with visible
annotation. For possibilities of illustrating a specification, where elements of the specification may be
available through a query function or other interrogation of information in the 3D CAD model and rules
for attaching specifications to 3D CAD models, see ISO 16792.
The figures in this document illustrate the text and are not intended to reflect an actual application.
Consequently, the figures are not fully dimensioned and specified, showing only the relevant general
principles. Neither are the figures intended to imply a particular display requirement in terms of
whether hidden detail, tangent lines or other annotations are shown or not shown. Many figures have
lines or details removed for clarity, or added or extended to assist with the illustration of the text. See
Table 1 for the line types used in definition figures.
In order for a GPS specification to be unambiguous, the partition defining the boundary of the toleranced
feature, as well as the filtering should be well defined. Currently, the detailed rules for partitioning and
the default for filtering are not defined in GPS standards.
For a definitive presentation (proportions and dimensions) of symbols for geometrical tolerancing, see
ISO 7083 and ISO 1101:2017, Annex F.
For the purposes of this document, the terms “axis” and “median plane” are used for derived features
of perfect form, and the terms “median line” and “median surface” for derived features of imperfect
form. Furthermore, the following line types have been used in the explanatory illustrations, i.e. those
representing non-technical drawings for which the rules of ISO 128 (all parts) apply.

Contrary to other kinds of geometrical tolerancing, profile tolerancing also allows geometrical
tolerancing of non-straight lines and non-flat surfaces, in addition to simpler features, such as planes,
cylinders, etc. This makes profile tolerancing more complex than other geometrical tolerancing
with respect to the definition of the nominal geometry and the extent of the toleranced feature. This
document expands on and provides tools and rules for these two complexities.
This edition of ISO 1660 is a pilot project for writing rule-based standards for geometrical tolerancing
rather than example-based standards. In the long term, it is envisioned that the content of this document
will be integrated into a future rule-based ISO 1101.

Clause 7);
— the rules for identifying the toleranced features (see ISO 1101:2017, Clause 6 and 9.1);
— form specifications, i.e. specifications without reference to a datum, a datum system or a pattern,
constrain neither orientation nor location (see ISO 1101:2017, 4.8);
— the tolerance zone can be constrained by reference to datums (see ISO 5459).

IMPORTANT — The illustrations included in this document are intended to illustrate the text
and/or to provide examples of the related technical drawing specification; these illustrations are
not fully dimensioned and toleranced, showing only the relevant general principles. In particular,
the illustrations do not contain filter specifications. As a consequence, the illustrations are not
a representation of a complete workpiece and are not of a quality that is required for use in
industry (in terms of full conformity with the standards prepared by ISO/TC 10 and ISO/TC 213),
and as such are not suitable for projection for teaching purposes.

For straight lines and planes, there are other characteristic symbols that directly provide the
information about the shape of the toleranced feature, e.g. flatness for planes and straightness for
straight lines. The profile characteristic symbols may be used for straight lines and planes. However, in
this case, to determine the nominal shape of the toleranced feature, it is necessary to verify that there is
no indication that the feature is nominally non-flat or non-straight on the drawing or in the CAD model,
as applicable.
NOTE A nominally planar surface and a nominally curved surface with a large radius may both appear as
a straight line on the drawing and the profile characteristic symbols can be used for both types of surfaces.
However, for the curved surface there will be an indication on the drawing or explicit or implicit TEDs in the
CAD model, that the surface is not flat. For the planar surface, there will be no such indication on a drawing. On a
drawing, it is this indication or absence of indication that is used to determine the nominal shape of the feature in
this case. In a CAD model, the model data are used to determine the nominal shape of the feature.
Additional symbols used in this document are given in Table 4 along with a reference to where they are
defined.

5 Rules for profile tolerancing
5.1 General
For the basic rules for geometrical tolerancing, of which profile tolerancing is a part, see ISO 1101.
When a drawing shall be used in conjunction with a CAD model, an unambiguous reference to the CAD
model shall be made on the drawing and the CAD model shall comply with ISO 16792.
According to the feature principle (see ISO 8015:2011, 5.4), by default a profile specification applies
to one complete single feature as defined in ISO 22432. It is the designer’s responsibility to select the
features or parts of features to which a specification applies and either indicate that on a 2D drawing
using appropriate symbology or define it in the CAD model.
According to the independency principle (see ISO 8015:2011, 5.5), by default a profile specification that
applies to more than one single feature as defined in ISO 22432, applies to those features independently.
If it is desired that the profile specification applies to the features as if they were one, or with some
constraint amongst the tolerance zones for the single features, it is the designer’s responsibility to
either indicate this on a 2D drawing using appropriate symbology or define it in the CAD model.
The “all over” indication and the “all around” indication shall always be combined with UF, CZ or SZ,
when used for geometrical tolerancing, to make it explicit whether the specification applies to a united
feature, defines a combined zone or defines a set of separate zones, except when all the non-redundant
degrees of freedom for all the tolerance zones are locked by reference to datums.
NOTE 1 The meaning of CZ and SZ is identical when the specification defines a set of tolerance zones for which
all non-redundant degrees of freedom are locked by reference to datums.
NOTE 2 In previous revisions of this document, “all around” was used without any other indication. That
made it ambiguous whether the specification applied to the features independently or the specification defined a
combined zone. The requirement to always use UF, CZ or SZ is a failsafe indication.

ISO 1660:2017(E)

5.2 Default rules for profile tolerancing
5.2.1 Rule A: Definition of the theoretically exact feature (TEF)
The theoretically exact feature (TEF) of the toleranced feature shall be defined with theoretically exact
dimensions (TEDs) or be embedded in the CAD model. For a feature of size, the nominal shape of the
TEF shall be defined, but the nominal size of the TEF may be undefined, see Figure 4 b).
These TEDs may include:
— explicit TEDs;
— implicit TEDs;
— tables of values and interpolation algorithms;
— mathematical functions including splines and other formulae;
— reference to CAD model queries.
A TEF that appears to be a nominally straight line or a nominal plane on the drawing with no explicit
indication to the contrary, shall be considered a nominally straight line or a nominal plane, respectively,
defined by implicit TEDs.
The shape of a TEF that is nominally a circle, a cylinder, a sphere or a cone is implicitly defined.
The shape of a TEF that is nominally a torus is defined when the directrix size is defined by an
explicit TED.
The size of a feature of size is undefined, and shall therefore be considered variable, unless it is defined
by an explicit TED, see Figures 1 and 4. The size of the generatrix of a torus is undefined, unless it is
defined by an explicit TED. See also rules F and G.
NOTE The diameter of the median surface of the tolerance zone is fixed at the nominal size.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
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, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 1660 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 1660:1987).

Introduction

ISO 1660 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general GPS
standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain links 1, 2 and 3 of the chains of standards on form of
lines and surfaces independent of datums and dependent on datums.
The ISO/GPS Masterplan given in ISO/TR 14638 gives an overview of the ISO/GPS system of which this
standard is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this standard and the default
decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this standard unless
otherwise indicated.
For more detailed information of the relation of this International Standard to the GPS matrix model, see
Annex B.
For the definitive presentation (proportions and dimensions) of symbols for geometrical tolerancing, see ISO
7083.
This edition of ISO 1660 provides rules for profile tolerancing.
Contrary to other kinds of geometrical tolerancing, profile tolerancing allows geometrical tolerancing of non-
straight lines and non-flat surfaces. This makes profile tolerancing more complex than other geometrical
tolerancing with respect to the definition of the nominal geometry and the extent of the toleranced feature. This
International Standard expands on and provides tools and rules for these two complexities.
This edition of ISO 1660 is a pilot project for writing rule based standards for geometrical tolerancing rather
than example based standards. In the long term it is envisioned that the content of this standard will be
integrated into a future rule based ISO 1101.
This International Standard references other standards for rules for GPS tolerancing in general and
geometrical tolerancing in particular, rather than repeating those rules. These GPS principles and rules
include, but are not limited to:
The feature principle (See ISO 8015 Clause 5.4)
The independency principle (see ISO 8015 Clause 4.5)
The rules for implicit TEDs (See ISO 5458 Clause 4.3)
The width of the tolerance zone applies normal to the toleranced feature (See ISO 1101 Clause 8).
The rules for identifying the toleranced feature(s) (see ISO 1101 Clause 7 and clause 10.1)
Form tolerances, i.e. tolerances without reference to a datum, a datum system or a pattern, constrain
neither orientation nor location (see ISO 1101 Clause 15).
The tolerance zone can be constrained by reference to datums (see ISO 5459).

IMPORTANT — The illustrations included in this International Standard are intended to illustrate the
text and/or to provide examples of the related technical drawing specification; these illustrations are
not fully dimensioned and toleranced, showing only the relevant general principles.
As a consequence, the illustrations are not a representation of a complete workpiece, and are not of a
quality that is required for use in industry (in terms of full conformity with the standards prepared by
ISO/TC 10 and ISO/TC 213), and as such are not suitable for projection for teaching purposes.

For straight lines and planes there are other tolerance symbols that directly gives the information about the
shape of the toleranced feature, e.g. flatness for planes and straightness for straight line(s). When profile
tolerance symbols are used for straight lines and planes, it is necessary to analyse the drawing or the CAD
model for absence of information that the feature is nominally non-flat or non-straight, to determine the
nominal shape of the toleranced feature.
5 Rules for profile tolerancing
5.1 General
According to the feature principle (See ISO 8015 Clause 5.4), by default a profile tolerance applies to one
entire single feature as defined in ISO 22432. It is the designer's responsibility to select the feature(s) or
part(s) of feature(s) for which a tolerance applies and either indicate that on a paper drawing using appropriate
symbology or define it on the CAD model.
According to the independency principle (see ISO 8015 Clause 4.5), by default a profile tolerance that applies
to more than one single feature as defined in ISO 22432, applies to those features independently. If it is
desired that the profile tolerance apply to the features as if they were one or with some constraint amongst the
tolerance zones for the single features, it is the designer's responsibility to either indicate this on a paper
drawing using appropriate symbology or define it on the CAD model.
Nevertheless, the "all around" indication and the "between" indication shall always be combined with UF, CZ
or SZ to make it explicit whether the tolerance applies to a united feature, defines a combined zone or defines
a set of separate zones.
NOTE 1 In former times "all around" was used without any other indication. That made it ambiguous whether the
tolerance applied to the features independently or the tolerance defined a combined zone. The requirement to always use
UF, CZ or SZ is a failsafe indication.
NOTE 2 In its resolution 196, ISO TC 213/WG 18 explicitly asks the member bodies to comment on this rule and
provide reasons, if they do not think this rule is appropriate (This note will be deleted at the next stage.)
5.2 Default rules for profile tolerancing
Rule A: Definition of nominal geometry
© ISO 2012 – All rights reserved 3

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 1660:2014
ISO/WD 1660
The nominal geometry of the toleranced feature shall be defined with theoretically exact dimensions (TEDs) or
be embedded in the CAD model.
These TEDs may include:
Explicit TEDs
Implicit TEDs:
Plane (single surface with no intrinsic characteristic)
Straight line (single line with no intrinsic characteristic)
Circle (single line with one intrinsic characteristic)
Cylinder (single surface with one intrinsic characteristic)
Sphere (single surface with one intrinsic characteristic)
Cone (single surface with one intrinsic characteristic)
Torus (single surface with two intrinsic characteristics)
Tables of values and interpolation algorithms
Mathematical functions including splines and other formulas
Reference to CAD model queries
A feature that appears to be a nominally straight line or a nominal plane in the drawing with no indications that
the nominal shape is anything else, shall be considered a nominally straight line or a nominal plane,
respectively, defined by implicit TEDs.
The shape of a feature that is nominally a circle, a cylinder, a sphere or a cone shall be considered defined by
implicit TEDs. The size of the feature shall be considered undefined, unless it is defined by an explicit TED.
The shape of a feature that is nominally a torus shall be considered defined by implicit TEDs when the
directrix size is defined by an explicit TED. The size of the generatrix shall be considered undefined, unless it
is defined by an explicit TED.
If the nominal geometry of a feature is defined by a table with sets of coordinates, the interpolation algorithm
for defining points between the given coordinates shall also be indicated.
EXAMPLE The points are connected by straight lines.
When the nominal geometry is embedded in the CAD model, it shall be accessible via queries, see ISO 16792.
Rule B: Type of toleranced feature
When the tolerance symbol is the surface profile tolerance symbol, the toleranced feature is an integral or
derived surface.
When the tolerance symbol is the line profile tolerance symbol, the toleranced feature is either one identified
integral or derived line or all lines in the identified integral or derived surface in a particular direction.
If the toleranced feature is one identified line in a surface, the location of this line shall be identified by TEDs.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 1660:2014
ISO/WD 1660
If the toleranced feature is all lines in the identified surface in a particular direction, that direction shall be
identified using an intersection plane indicator, see ISO 1101 clause 16.
The rules for indicating whether the toleranced feature is an integral feature or a derived feature are given in
ISO 1101 clause 7.
Rule C: Definition of the tolerance zone
For surface tolerances, the tolerance zone is limited by two equidistant surfaces enveloping spheres with a
diameter equal to the tolerance value, the centres of which are situated on the nominal geometry, unless
otherwise specified, see rules E and F.
For line tolerances, when the tolerance value is not preceded by ø, the tolerance zone is limited by two
equidistant coplanar lines enveloping circles with a diameter equal to the tolerance value, the centres of which
are situated on the nominal geometry, unless otherwise specified, see rules E and F.
For line tolerances, when the tolerance value is preceded by ø, the tolerance zone is limited by a tube
enveloping spheres with a diameter equal to the tolerance value, the centres of which are situated on the
nominal geometry, unless otherwise specified, see rules E and F.

If the toleranced feature is not one entire single feature, this shall be indicated by using the tools given in ISO

ISO/WD 1660
If, for integral features, the tolerance zone is not equally disposed according to rule C, the UZ modifier shall be
used. The rules are given in ISO 1101 clause 10.2.
Rule F: Offset tolerance zone
If the tolerance zone is allowed to be offset from the nominal geometry by an unspecified, but consistent,
amount, the OZ modifier shall be indicated in the tolerance indicator. The rules are given in ISO 1101
:2012/A1.

NOTE Details shall be added to ISO 1011 AMD 1 for how the OZ modifier shall be indicated.
Rule G: Filtered feature modifiers
If the tolerance applies to a feature with a specified filtering applied, this shall be indicated using the tools
given in ISO 1101 AMD 1 Clause 6.1.2.4.
Rule H: Association and parameter modifiers

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 1660:2014
ISO/WD 1660
If an unrelated profile tolerance (profile form tolerance) applies relative to a non-default reference feature, to a
non-default parameter, or both, this shall be indicated using the tools given in ISO 1101 AMD 1 Clause 6.1.2.5
and Clause 6.1.2.6.
Rule I: Associated toleranced feature modifiers
If the tolerance applies to an associated feature and not the identified feature itself, this shall be indicated
using the tools given in ISO 1101 AMD 1 Clause 6.1.2.7.
Rule J: Virtual condition
If the tolerance applies to a virtual condition for the toleranced feature, or the datum(s), or both, the indications
and rules given in ISO 2692 apply.
Rule K: Non-rigid part
If the tolerance applies to a non-rigid part in a restrained or non-restrained condition, the indications and rules
given in ISO 10579 apply.
5.4 Profile tolerancing of thin parts
On a paper drawing, a thin part may only be represented by a single line. In a CAD model, the thickness of a
thin part may not be modelled, so the part is only represented as a surface. In this case, it is necessary to
indicate whether the nominal geometry represents one of the material surfaces or the median surface. In
addition, when using the UZ modifier to define an unequally disposed tolerance zone when the nominal
geometry represents the median line, it is necessary to define which direction is considered out of the material
(+) and which direction is considered into the material (-). Figure 3 shows how to indicate what the nominal
geometry represents on a thin part.

a) the material is below the b) the material is above the c) the nominal geometry is

Compound features
Compound features not fully defined by TEDs and features that are of one of the types give in rule A,
but do not meet the requirements of the rule with regards to dimensions defined by TEDs have no

Illustration of the rules
B.1 General
The following examples are intended to illustrate the fundamental rules as well as rules A to K. They do not

NOTE TEDs 20 and R40 are not active in this example.
Figure B.1 — Surface profile tolerance for a single feature
The drawing indications in figure B.1 a) and b) shall be interpreted as follows:
According to the feature principle, the tolerance applies to one entire feature, i.e. the feature identified by
the leader line, which is a feature that forms a 90° section of a cylinder with a nominal radius of 20.
According to rule A, the nominal geometry shall be defined with theoretically exact dimensions. In this
case the toleranced feature is defined as part of a cylinder with a radius of 20.

According to rule B, the toleranced feature is a surface and according to the indication rules given in ISO
1101 clause 7, the toleranced feature is an integral surface.
According to rule C, the tolerance zone is limited by two equidistant surfaces enveloping spheres with a
diameter equal to the tolerance value, the centres of which are situated on the nominal geometry. This
results in the tolerance zone limits being 90° sections of coaxial cylinders with radius 19,9 and 20,1,
respectively.
Because the tolerance does not reference datums, the tolerance zone is not constrained.
