TS EN ISO 7519

TS EN ISO 7519 is a technical drawing standard for construction drawings that complements ISO 128 and addresses the general principles used to present general arrangement and assembly drawings. Its focus is on how graphical information should be organised so that drawings remain clear, consistent and easy to interpret across building and architectural work.

What general arrangement and assembly drawings are for

In general technical practice, general arrangement drawings show the overall layout of a structure or system, while assembly drawings explain how components are positioned together. In both cases, the way lines, views, notes and graphical conventions are presented matters as much as the geometry itself. The general value of this standard is that it provides a common presentation framework for those drawings in construction and architectural contexts, helping different disciplines read the same drawing language more consistently.

Relationship to ISO 128 and the scope boundary

The standard is explicitly positioned as a complement to ISO 128 for construction drawings. In practical terms, that means it builds on the basic drawing conventions of technical drafting and applies them to the specific needs of general arrangement and assembly presentation in building-related work. It is a presentation standard, not a sizing, calculation or structural design code. General technical knowledge on drafting rules applies here: the aim is readable communication, not detailed design verification.

• Applies to construction drawings in building and architectural fields.
• Covers general principles for general arrangement and assembly presentation.
• Is intended to be used alongside ISO 128.
• Supports consistency and interpretability in technical drawings.
