National Foreword

This Indian Standard, which is identical with ISO 5455 : 1979 `Technical drawings - Scales' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on recommendation of the Drawings Sectional Committee and approved by the Engineering Division Council.

IS 696 : 1972 `Code of practice for general engineering drawings (second revision)' was originally issued in 1955 and was revised in 1960 as a consequence of changeover to metric system If weights and measures. The second revision of IS 696 was carried out in 1972 to bring it more in line with the recommendation published by the Technical Committee TC 10 - Technical Drawings of International Organization for Standardization.

ISO has published number of standards on various subjects covered in IS 696 : 1972. This standard is an adoption of ISO 5455 : 1979 on the subject superseding the relevant subject matter covered in 2.2 of IS 696 : 1972.
