TS 5602

TS 5602 addresses the drawing rules used when preparing technical drawings that serve as the basis for manufacture in wood processing, especially in furniture and joinery work. It helps standardise the way design information is presented so drawings can be read, measured and used consistently in production.

The drawing language used in wood processing

Technical drawing is the engineering language used to communicate shape, dimensions, views and other production details through standardised symbols and rules. In wood processing, this language supports the manufacture of furniture components, doors, windows and similar joinery items by giving workshops a clear and common representation of the product. Consistent dimensions, views and details reduce misinterpretation and make production easier to organise.

Where it is applied

• Manufacturing drawings for furniture production
• Manufacturing drawings for joinery work
• Structured communication of production information in wood products
• Rules that support a single, practical reading of drawings

The focus of this standard is how the drawings are prepared; it should not be read as a general specification for material selection, performance testing or final product quality requirements. Its value lies in helping designers, manufacturers and installers interpret the same production information in a consistent way.
