ISO 1040:1983 PDF Download

ISO 1040:1983 is a standard that establishes the values of multimodules for horizontal coordinating dimensions in building construction. It is meant to be used in conjunction with ISO 2848, which lays down the principles and rules of modular coordination. The standard applies to the design and construction of buildings of all types.

The purpose of ISO 1040 is to ensure consistency and compatibility in the dimensions of building components. By using multimodules as a basis for coordinating dimensions, different building elements can be designed and manufactured to fit together seamlessly, resulting in greater efficiency and ease of construction.

The standard defines five international standardized values of multimodules for horizontal coordinating dimensions: 3 M, 6 M, 12 M, 30 M, and 60 M. These values serve as a reference for architects, engineers, and contractors, allowing them to plan and construct buildings with coordinated dimensions that meet the requirements of modular coordination.
