Iso 2768-mk-e ((better)) – Pro & Extended
When a designer writes ISO 2768-MK-E in the title block or general notes of a drawing, it instructs the manufacturer that must conform to the specific limits defined by this standard.
GENERAL TOLERANCES: ISO 2768-MK-E Alternatively:
These values apply per 100 mm of length. For longer lengths, the tolerance is prorated but limited by the maximum deviation.
If a feature matters for function or fit, give it an explicit tolerance. ISO 2768-MK-E is for everything else.
For production shops, understanding this shorthand reduces errors and clarifies expectations. For designers, using it correctly (and knowing its limits) produces clear, manufacturable drawings without over-tolerancing.
