1 Scope and purpose

This standard applies to component dimensions specified in drawings and/or in NC data for sheet metal
parts up to 3 mm thick manufactured without cutting, which are used in the driver's cab shell with the
introduction of the "New vehicle generation" (NFG). It applies only for geometric data without tolerance
specifications (see Table 2) and/or for standardised symbolic specifications (see Table 3) and then
provided that assembly tolerances are not exceeded. General tolerances are always therefore to be
included in tolerance calculations and analyses of joining functions. Tolerances which need to be smaller
and/or can be greater than general tolerances for functional and/or production reasons shall be specified
directly.
The purpose of the standard is to permit deviations due to the production process and which have no
effect on the function of the component. This should prevent higher production costs caused e.g. by
additional operations and/or drawing and/or NC data revisions in the interests of achieving a
commercially viable production.
Note:
All specifications regarding the identification of admissible tolerances relate to illustrations in drawings
and/or on the 2D-CAD portion, not to the illustration of admissible tolerances in the 3D-CAD model.

2 Specifications in drawings
The main standard number M 3199 is to be quoted in the component drawing in the text box (general
tolerances field). In this case, the general tolerances according to Table 2 automatically apply for all
geometry elements without any assigned tolerance symbols or specifications.

M 3199-2 : 2006-06

If tighter tolerances according to Table 3 are required for certain geometry elements due to the function, the
appropriate symbol (see Table 3, column for drawing entry) must be stated against the affected geometry
element in the drawing, and the sticker (A64 according to M3056-2) with content in line with Table 1, must be
placed close to the text box. The tolerance values according to Table 3, column for value, then apply for the
geometry elements with these symbols, while for all others the general tolerances according to Table 2
continue to apply.
Tolerances, which need to be even smaller for function and/or production reasons, or which may be larger than
the tolerances according to Tables 2 and 3, are to be specified directly with the symbol and tolerance value on
the affected geometry element (see Section 5)

5 Actual specification of tolerances for measurements and/or deviations in shape and position
Principles of representation of symbols and entries in drawings are determined in DIN ISO 1101.
The actual specification of tolerances for measurements and/or deviations in shape and position is necessary
only when the required values are defined neither by Table 2 (section 3) nor Table 3 (section 4). If appropriate
the symbols according to Table 3 shall be used.

6. Procedure for measured exceeding of tolerance

If, within the framework of the pilot sample test, individual local positions where the tolerance is exceeded are
found (measured), these are to be recorded in the pilot sample test report and discussed with Design.
For tolerance deviations of minor importance, which have no influence on the function of the parts, a test
concession will be issued by the MN Pilot Sample Test Department, and this will be cleared by Design
This test concession, together with the pilot sample test report, will be filed centrally in the MN Quality
Department, in order to be accessible to all departments at the plant.
The tolerance deviations will only be included in the construction drawing, if the tolerance is to be basically
changed for function and/or production reasons and/or is to be taken into consideration without fail when
replacing a tool within the framework of the target geometry.
In all other cases, the inclusion in the construction drawing is not permissible, as this would be an accidental
falsification of the target geometry and could affect the target geometry when replacing a tool.
