The works shall be erected in proper alignment in relation to established lines and grids
indicated on the Design Drawings.
2. Joints: The width of any joint shall not deviate from the nominal width by more than 1mm.
Any variation shall be equally distributed with no sudden changes. The works shall be
erected such that no joint is more than 1.5mm from a vertical plane. The cumulative slope
between the same locations on any vertical plane shall not exceed 1 in 1000. The vertical
plane of the works shall be within 1.5mm of the theoretical position.
3. Alignment: Adjacent elements of metal stairs/ balustrades shall not deviate from either their
intended horizontal or vertical alignment by more than 2mm.
4. Level of horizontal/ raking members: 1mm from datum in 1500mm non-cumulative.
5. Plumb of vertical members: 1mm to the vertical in any 1500mm, non-cumulative.
6. Squareness: Any diagonal length across the panel shall not deviate by more than the lesser
of 3mm or 0.075% of design dimension.
7. Bow: The centre section of the element shall not bow by more than the lesser of 3mm or
0.075% of the length of the element measured from a straight line between the ends of the
element.
8. Straightness: Any surface of edge shall not deviate by more than 2mm from a 2m
straightedge placed against it in a direction parallel to the long axis of the element.
9. Flatness: Any surface shall not deviate by more than 2mm from a 2m straightedge placed
against it in any direction.
10. Twist: No section of the element may be twisted by more than 1 from the section at either
end of the element.
11. Tolerances shall not be cumulative.
