General tolerances
If the deviations are not specified against the number for the dimension in production documents, order documents, etc. a note must be included referring to this standard, by specifying DIN16901 and the tolerance group given.
Example for specifying tolerance group 140:
Tolerances DIN 16901-140
Deviations specified against dimensions

Notes
1 In the case of unreinforced partly crystalline, non-hardening molding materials (thermoplastics the next highest tolerance group shall apply for wall thick nesses over 4 mm.
2 The word "moulding" was replaced with "molding" (US word) for internet searchability optimization.
