To have a common understanding of fabrication tolerances / acceptance criteria amongst all Quality Control
Personnel assisting them in carrying out their day-to-day inspection and test activities.
Guideline:
This guideline provides the general fabrication tolerances and acceptance criteria for various members of the
Structural Steel Products.
Implementation of these tolerances on various projects can only be applied, when: -
• Such tolerances are not specified by the customer in their project technical specifications.
• The Design / Construction code of the project is the same as that specified in the Reference Standard of this
guideline
The tolerances / acceptance criteria specified in the LATEST edition / addendum of the APPLICABLE CODE shall be
