ISO 965

ISO 965 (ISO general purpose metric screw thread—tolerances) is a International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for metric screw thread tolerances.[1] It specifies the basic profile for ISO general purpose metric screw threads (M) conforming to ISO 261.[2][3]

The tolerance system refers to the basic profile in accordance with ISO 68-1. The Field of application and purpose of ISO 965 can be defined as "ISO 965 specifies a tolerance system for screw threads from 1mm diameter upwards.[4]
