Where walls or columns are not vertical, the line of ‘measurement shall bo at right angles to a reference line ‘A room shall be measured taking two measuring points each 10 em from the wall (cf. figure 8).

In this example, for the section between points of intersection 4 and 6, the position deviation shall be measured atthe point of intersaction situated at lavel 5, and for the section between poinis of intersection 5 and 10, the position deviation shall be measured at the leve! situated at point of intersection 7. Explanatory notes In the following, the survey reference system for determining actual deviations from structural sizes is explained. ‘The reference system by which to survay the building can be established in terms of position and height trom fixed points. To ensure that any surveying deviations do not affect the coordinate system) of the structure or the actual deviations inherent in the structure, one point of the reference system should be agreed as the absolute point of origin, 0, on plan and in elevation. As a rule, this point should be a point of intersection. The position of the absolute point of origin shall be such that, even alter completion of the building, it remains, for survaying purposes, clearly marked, secure and accessible. The orientation of the reference system is determined by a second agreed peint which should, if possible, be situated on a line of the raference system which runs through the point of origin (cf. figure 8). This second point shall satisfy the same criteria as the point of origin. The point of origin and the orientation of the reference system aro to be referred to when measuring the actual deviations of the building and its structural parts *) CA DIN 18000,baits Page & DIN 18202 : 1997-04 IN | ‘Components, Grid tine of coordinate plane L 1 } i I i ! | | | | I 1 | 1 I t t | i Survey reference system > o- Figure 8: Survey reference system Other relevant standards.
