Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Geometrical tolerancing - Maximum material requirement (MMR), least material requirement (LMR) and reciprocity requirement (RPR) (ISO 2692:2006)

This Internation Standard is a Geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain links 1, 2 and 3 of the chain of standards on size of linear features of size and form, orientation or location of derived features based on "features of size".

Diese Internationale Norm definiert die Maximum-Material-Bedingung, die Minimum-Material-Bedingung und die Reziprozitätsbedingung und legt ihre Anwendungen fest.
Diese Anforderungen dienen zur Steuerung bestimmter Funktionen von Werkstücken, bei denen eine Abhängigkeit von Maß und Geometrie vorhanden ist, z. B. zur Erfüllung der Funktionen zusammengebauter Teile (für die Maximum-Material-Bedingung) und zur Erfüllung der Funktion Mindest-Wandstärke (für Minimum-Material-Bedingung). Die Maximum-Material-Bedingung und die Minimum-Material-Bedingung werden jedoch auch zur Erfüllung anderer funktionaler Anforderungen genutzt.

L'ISO 2692:2006 définit l'exigence du maximum de matière, l'exigence du minimum de matière et l'exigence de réciprocité, et en précise les applications.
L'objectif de ces exigences est de contrôler les fonctions spécifiques de pièces où la taille et la géométrie sont interdépendantes, afin d'assurer, par exemple, l'assemblage des pièces (dans le cas de l'exigence du maximum de matière) et une épaisseur de paroi minimale (dans le cas de l'exigence du minimum de matière). Cependant, l'exigence du maximum de matière et l'exigence du minimum de matière peuvent être employées pour respecter d'autres exigences fonctionnelles de conception.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 2692 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 2692:1988), which has been technically revised.
It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 2692:1988/Amd.1:1992.

ISO 2692:2006(E)
Introduction
0.1 General
This International Standard is a Geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a
general GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain links 1, 2 and 3 of the chain of standards
on size of linear “features of size” and form, orientation or location of derived features based on “features of
size”.
For more detailed information of the relation of this International Standard to the GPS matrix model, see
Annex C.
This International Standard covers some frequently occurring workpiece functional cases in design and
tolerancing. The “maximum material requirement”, MMR, covers “assembleability” and the “least material
requirement”, LMR, covers, for example, “minimum wall thickness” of a part. Each requirement (MMR and
LMR) combines two independent tolerance requirements into one collective requirement, which more
accurately simulates the intended function of the workpiece. In some cases of both MMR and LMR, the
“reciprocity requirement”, RPR, can be added.
0.2 Information about maximum material requirement, MMR
The assembly of parts depends on the combined effect of:
a) the size (of one or more extracted features of size), and
b) the geometrical deviation of the (extracted) features and their derived features, such as the pattern of bolt
holes in two flanges and the bolts securing them.
The minimum assembly clearance occurs when each of the mating features of size is at its maximum material
size (e.g. the largest bolt size and the smallest hole size) and when the geometrical deviations (e.g. the form,
orientation and location deviations) of the features of size and their derived features (median line or median
surface) are also at their maximum. Assembly clearance increases to a maximum when the sizes of the
assembled features of size are furthest from their maximum material sizes (e.g. the smallest shaft size and the
largest hole size) and when the geometrical deviations (e.g. the form, orientation and location deviations) of
the features of size and their derived features are zero. It therefore follows that if the sizes of one mating part
do not reach their maximum material size, the indicated geometrical tolerance of the features of size and their
derived features may be increased without endangering the assembly to the other part.
This assembly function is controlled by the maximum material requirement. The collective requirement is
indicated on drawings by the symbol Ⓜ.
0.3 Information about least material requirement, LMR
The least material requirement is designed to control, for example, the minimum wall thickness, thereby
preventing breakout (due to pressure in a tube), the maximum width of a series of slots, etc. It is indicated on
drawings by the symbol Ⓛ. The least material requirement is also characterised by a collective requirement
for the size of a feature of size, the geometrical deviation of the feature of size (form deviations) and the
location of its derived feature.

ISO 2692:2006(E)
0.4 Information about reciprocity requirement, RPR
The reciprocity requirement is an additional requirement, which may be used together with the maximum
material requirement and the least material requirement in cases where it is permitted — taking into account
the function of the toleranced feature(s) — to enlarge the size tolerance when the geometrical deviation on the
actual workpiece does not take full advantage of, respectively, the maximum material virtual condition or the
least material virtual condition.
The reciprocity requirement is indicated on the drawing by the symbol Ⓡ.
0.5 General information about terminology and figures
The terminology and tolerancing concepts in this International Standard have been updated to conform to
GPS terminology, notably that in ISO 286-1:1998, ISO 14405:—, ISO 14660-1:1999, ISO 14660-2:1999 and

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2692:2006(E)

Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Geometrical
tolerancing — Maximum material requirement (MMR), least
material requirement (LMR) and reciprocity requirement (RPR)
1 Scope
This International Standard defines the maximum material requirement, the least material requirement and the
reciprocity requirement, and specifies their applications.
These requirements are used to control specific functions of workpieces where size and geometry are
interdependent, e.g. to fulfil the functions “assembly of parts” (for maximum material requirement) and
“minimum wall thickness” (for least material requirement). However, the maximum material requirement and
least material requirement are also used to fulfil other functional design requirements.

4 Maximum material requirement, MMR and least material requirement, LMR
4.1 General
The maximum material requirement, MMR, and the least material requirement, LMR, take into account the
mutual relationship of the size and the geometrical tolerance of interrelated features. These requirements can
be applied exclusively in order to combine requirements for the size of features of size and the geometrical
tolerance for the derived feature(s) of the feature(s) of size.
NOTE 1 This edition of this International Standard only covers features of size of type cylinder and type two opposite
parallel plane surfaces. Consequently, the only possible derived features are median lines and median surfaces.
When maximum material requirement, MMR, or least material requirement, LMR, is specified, the two
requirements (size and geometrical tolerance) are transformed into one collective requirement. The collective
requirement concerns only the integral feature, which in this International Standard relates to the surface(s) of
the feature(s) of size(s).
NOTE 2 In the past, the maximum material requirement, MMR, was referred to as the maximum material principle,
MMP.
When no modifiers (Ⓛ, Ⓜ, Ⓡ) are applied to the toleranced feature, the definitions of size of extracted feature
in ISO 14405 and ISO 14660-2 apply.
When no modifiers (Ⓛ, Ⓜ, Ⓡ) are applied to the datum, ISO 5459 applies.
4.2 Maximum material requirement, MMR
4.2.1 Maximum material requirement for toleranced features
The maximum material requirement for toleranced features results in four independent requirements:
a) a requirement for the upper limit of the local size [see Rules A 1) and A 2)];
b) a requirement for the lower limit of the local size [see Rules B 1) and B 2)];
c) a requirement for the surface non-violation of the MMVC (see Rule C);
d) a requirement for when more than one feature is involved (see Rule D).

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

ISO 2692:2006(E)
When the maximum material requirement, MMR, applies to the toleranced feature, it is indicated on drawings
by the symbol Ⓜ placed after the geometrical tolerance of the derived feature of the feature of size
(toleranced feature) in the tolerance indicator.
In this case, it specifies for the surface(s) (of the feature of size) the following rules.
⎯ Rule A  The extracted local sizes of the toleranced feature shall be:
1) equal to or smaller than the maximum material size, MMS, for external features;
2) equal to or larger than the maximum material size, MMS, for internal features.
NOTE 1 This rule can be altered by the indication of reciprocity requirement, RPR, with the symbol Ⓡ after the
symbol Ⓜ (see Clause 5 and Figure A.1).
⎯ Rule B  The extracted local sizes of the toleranced feature shall be:
1) equal to or larger than the least material size, LMS, for external features [see Figures A.2 a), A.3 a),
A.4 a), A.6 a), A.7 a), A.10 and A.11];
2) equal to or smaller than the least material size, LMS, for internal features [see Figures A.2 b), A.3 b),
A.4 b), A.6 b), A.7 b), A.10 and A.11].
⎯ Rule C  The maximum material virtual condition, MMVC, of the toleranced feature shall not be violated
by the extracted (integral) feature (see Figures A.2, A.3, A.4, A.6, A.7, A.10 and A.11).
NOTE 2 Use of other constraints on size at maximum material condition, MMC, e.g. envelope requirement Ⓔ
(previously also known as the Taylor Principle), can result in superfluous requirements, not necessary for the function of
the feature(s) (assembleability). Use of other such constraints and size definitions reduces the technical and economic
advantage of maximum material requirement, MMR.
NOTE 3 The indication 0 Ⓜ has the same meaning as envelope requirement Ⓔ when the geometrical specification is a
form tolerance.
⎯ Rule D  When the toleranced features (in cases of more than one features) are controlled by the same
tolerance indication, or when the geometrical specification is orientation or location, the maximum
material virtual condition(s), MMVC(s), of the toleranced feature(s) are in theoretical exact location(s) and
