EEC Directive 73-362 / EEC: Rules Class 1 and 2
For Metric Scales Only: (there is no specification for Inch Scales)
Permissible Errors: For EEC Class 1 Rules
Maximum permissible error between 2 intervals upto 1mm = 0.1mm
Maximum permissible error between two intervals not exceeding 10mm = 0.2mm
From Rule End: Above tolerance increased by 0.1mm
Examples:
Rule End to 1mm graduation = Normal Tol. 0.1mm + Additional Tol. 0.1mm = 0.2mm
Rule End to 10mm graduation = Normal Tol. 0.2mm + Additional Tol. 0.1mm = 0.3mm
Overall Length Tolerance
Tol = [a + (b x L)]
a = 0.1 for class 1
b = 0.1 for class 1
L = Length of scale rounded up to the nearest metre
Example for a 300mm rule, when measurement is taken from the 10mm graduation to the 300mm graduation:
Tol = [0.1 +( 0.1 x 1)] = 0.2mm
