TS EN ISO 7519

TS EN ISO 7519 is a technical product documentation standard that sets out general principles for the presentation of general arrangement and assembly drawings in construction documentation. It helps building and architectural drawings express the position, relationship and assembly of components in a clear, consistent and comparable way.

The role of general arrangement and assembly drawings

General arrangement drawings show the overall layout of a structure or system, including the location and spatial relationships of its main elements. Assembly drawings explain how parts or subassemblies fit together. These drawing types matter for design coordination, fabrication preparation, site installation and interdisciplinary alignment. This standard focuses on the general presentation principles for such drawings, making the visual language more systematic within the technical documentation family.

What this standard provides as a common framework

• Addresses common presentation principles for general arrangement and assembly drawings.
• Intended mainly for use in building and architectural drawing practice.
• Provides a general technical framework for readability and consistency.
• Deals with documentation presentation, not with structural design calculations.

In technical practice, standards of this kind shape more than the appearance of drawings; they also influence how information is organised and interpreted. Scale, view selection, line conventions, placement logic and references all affect how reliably a drawing can be read and used. TS EN ISO 7519 offers a shared presentation framework that supports consistent documentation across projects and teams.
