About This Item
TS 10841 EN ISO 3098-2 addresses lettering for Latin alphabet characters, numerals and marks used in technical product documentation. In technical drawings and related documents, consistent lettering helps preserve clarity, so dimensions, notes and symbols can be read and interpreted in the same way across different users and workplaces.
Why lettering matters in technical drawings
In engineering drawings, lettering is not just annotation; it carries essential information such as dimensions, material notes and references. The form of the characters, their proportions, inclination and overall appearance all affect readability and the reliability of interpretation. The standard focuses on harmonising the use of Latin-based lettering in technical documents so that written information remains orderly and legible.
Stencil lettering and other methods
The standard primarily concerns lettering produced with the aid of stencils, but it can also be applied to freehand lettering or other suitable methods. In general technical practice, this distinction matters because stencil lettering supports repeatability and uniform appearance, while freehand writing may still be used for quick marking in some working contexts. Standards of this kind provide a common visual language across different lettering methods in technical documentation.
