ISO 286 Tolerances in mm
EXAMPLES:
H = All Minus Tolerance e.g. 45mm dia. H9 = +0 / -0.062
J = Tolerance Divided e.g. 45mm dia. J9 = +/- 0.031
K = All Plus Tolerance e.g. 45mm dia. K9 = +0.062/ -0
( The K tolerance is usually only applied to larger diameter bars - over 75mm
H8 = Precision Ground
H9 = Bright Drawn
H10 = Smooth Turned

Straightness Tolerances for Bright Bars
Taken from BS EN 10278:1999, applicable to Bright Bars only.
Method of measuring deviation - Preferred Method B.1 from BS EN 10278:
1. The bar shall be supported on a suitable surface so as to eliminate or minimise sagging.
2. A 1 metre long straight edge shall be placed on the surface of the bar at any position along it's length. No part of the straight edge shall be within 150mm of the ends of the bar.
3. Straightness shall be determined by measuring the gap between the bar and the straight edge by suitable means such as a feeler guage.
The following table indicates:
DEVIATION FROM STRAIGHTNESS
| Product | Dimension | Max Deviation in mm within a 1mtr length measured at least 150mm from either end of bar |
| Round | 1.0mm | |
| Square & Hexagon | < or = 75mm | 1.0mm |
| Square & Hexagon | > 75mm | 1.5mm |
| Flat | Width < 120mm | On Width: 1.5mm |
| Flat | Width < 120mm | On Thickness: 2.0mm |
| Flat | Width > or = 120mm | On Width: 2.0mm |
| Flat | Width/Thickness < 10.1 | On Thickness: 2.5mm |
| Flat | Width > or = 120mm | On Width: 2.5mm |
| Flat | Width/Thickness > or = 10.1 | On Thickness: 3.0mm |
