John Deere Standards are intended for use by Deere & Company, its divisions and subsidiaries. Suppliers who rely on them in
furnishing products to or for the benefit of the Company must determine that they are in possession of the latest version. Distribution
of the standards to parties other than John Deere Suppliers, whether with or without charge, are for information only and
Deere & Company disclaims all responsibility for results attributable to the application of or compliance with such standards. The
Company makes no representation, express or implied, that conformity ensures compliance with applicable law or other rules or
regulations. Further, those who are in receipt of and elect to use the standards, agree to assume the responsibility for compliance with
patents, as well as potential patent infringement.

1 Scope

JDS-G113.5X1 provides information about John Deere’s dimensioning and tolerancing standard
harmonization and about ASME GD&T to ISO GPS key differences. It also includes information on
dimensioning and tolerancing past practices. Past practices are not to be used for new designs.

1.1 This standard can contain mandatory provisions, which are identified by the words “shall” or
“required”. Compliance with the mandatory provisions is required to claim conformance with this standard.
This standard can also contain guideline provisions, which are generally identified by the words “should” or
“recommended”. Compliance with the guideline provisions is not required, because they might not be
appropriate for all machines or all applications.

2 Terms and Definitions

For purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions in JDS-G113X1 apply.

3 Standards Harmonization

3.1 In 2011, the Enterprise Engineering Council reaffirmed the use of ASME Y14.5M-1994 (R2004) as
the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standard for John Deere models and drawings.

3.2 In 2015, the Enterprise Engineering Council again reaffirmed the use of ASME Y14.5 as the
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standard for John Deere models and drawings and approved
the transition to ASME Y14.5-2009 beginning in 2016. Refer to JDS-G113.5 for information on this
transition.

4 Past Practices

4.1 Metric-Inch (Dual) Dimensioned Drawings

When existing inch production process equipment is to be used to produce a new metric part, the applicable
inch dimensions shall be identified on the drawing. This shall be specified by one of the following methods:
(a) the applicable inch dimension shown adjacent to (preferably above or to the right of) the primary metric
dimension and enclosed in parenthesis, see Figure 1; (b) the inch dimension shown as the primary
dimension and labeled accordingly with the metric equivalent enclosed in parentheses, see Figure 2. Also
use “IN.” to follow an inch value; see Figure 1 and Figure 2.

4.2 Inch-Metric (Dual) Dimensioned Drawings

4.2.1 General

Inch-metric (dual) dimensioned drawings shall not be used for new designs.

4.2.2 Identification

The indication “INCH [mm]” is shown in the drawing title block.

4.2.3 Measurement Units

4.2.3.1 Dimensions are shown in both U.S. customary units and International System (SI) units, except in
special cases of standard commercial sizes for which an appropriate conversion is not known. In those
special cases the values are shown only in U.S. customary units or only in SI units.

4.2.3.2 Linear dimensions enclosed in square brackets are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise labeled;
see Figure 3. Other dimensions are in inches unless otherwise labeled.

4.2.3.3 Surface texture values enclosed in square brackets are in micrometers (µm). Other surface texture
values are in micro-inches (µin) per JDS-G113.2.

4.2.3.4 All other units are labeled according to JDS-G168.

4.2.4 Conversions

The conversions between U.S. customary units and SI units have equal status for the purpose of producing
functionally interchangeable parts in either system, regardless of whether the design was based on inch or
metric standards. The metric value should be placed in square brackets above or to the right of the U.S.
customary value. See Figure 3.

5 ASME GD&T to ISO GPS Key Difference

5.1 One of the key differences between ASME GD&T and ISO GPS is the envelope principle.

5.1.1 ASME Y14.5 specifies that the “envelope principle” or “perfect form at maximum material condition”
applies unless otherwise specified.

5.1.2 ISO 8015 specifies that the “principle of independency” applies, unless “envelope” requirement or
a form tolerance at maximum material size is specified.

5.1.3 The “envelope principle” or “perfect form at maximum material condition” per ASME Y14.5 and
“envelope requirement” per ISO 8015 both mean that the surface or surfaces of the feature shall not extend
beyond (violate) a condition (envelope) of perfect form at maximum material size. This is equivalent to zero
form tolerance at maximum material size (zero cylindricity tolerance at MMC or zero flatness tolerance at
MMC, as applicable). In this case, the limits of size of an individual feature prescribe the extent to which
variations in its geometric form, as well as size, are allowed.

5.1.4 The “principle of independency” per ISO 8015 and “perfect form at maximum material condition not
required” per ASME Y14.5 both mean that a linear tolerance controls only the actual local sizes (two-point
measurement) of a feature, but not its form deviations. In this case, if a relationship of size and form exists,
it must be specified on the drawing.

5.1.5 In cases where the Feature of Size has a functional requirement for assembly, it is recommended
to maintain the “envelope principle” (ASME) or invoke the “envelope requirement” (ISO).

5.1.6 Other differences between the standards exist. The appropriate standard should be consulted when
interpreting specifications.

6 Understanding of ISO GPS Standards

6.1 For understanding of ISO Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) refer to ISO 14638.

7.1 Access to John Deere Standards

7.1.1 John Deere Standards can be accessed by John Deere personnel via the Engineering Standards
internal website.

7.1.2 Employees of suppliers with an approved John Deere supplier number can obtain access to
John Deere Standards via the JD Supply Network (JDSN). Access to JDSN is by approved individual name
and password. Suppliers should contact their Supply Management representative with questions about
JDSN.

Note 1 Only John Deere Standards which have been approved for supplier distribution are available via JDSN.

7.2 Access to Standards from External Organizations

7.2.1 Most standards from organizations external to John Deere are available to John Deere personnel
via the Engineering Standards internal website.

7.2.2 Suppliers are responsible for obtaining relevant external standards. In accordance with copyright
laws and Company policy, John Deere personnel shall not provide copies of these standards to suppliers.
