Toleranceclass 0Factory and reference standard in the calibration laboratoryor in the air-conditioned measuring room for setting orcalibrating gauges and measuring instruments Toleranceclass 1Commonly used reference standard for the testing of gaug-es and for the adjustment of measuring instruments. Use inthe measuring room and at the test station in production Gauge blocks of this class are used as a reference stand- Tolerance ard at inspection stations in production areas, for adjusting class 2 and calibration of measuring instruments and for adjust- ment and inspection of tools, devices and machines.
