DIN standards
As construction draftsmen, we are obliged to observe a large number of DIN standards. These guidelines serve as a uniform basis for the creation of construction drawings and thus ensure safe and
efficient construction execution.
A few important DIN standards for draftsmen are:
DIN 1356-1
This standard defines the basic rules for representation in construction drawings. It contains specifications for line types, scales, dimensions and fonts.
DIN 18036
This standard regulates the requirements for performance phase 2 (design planning) in architecture and civil engineering. It defines the content and scope of the design planning.
DIN 13200-1
This standard specifies the requirements for barrier-free construction. It is relevant for all construction projects and must be taken into account during planning.
DIN 4130
This standard contains general rules for technical documentation. Although it is not specific to construction drawings, the principles it contains are also relevant for the preparation of construction documents.
Why are DIN standards important?
3. Legal certainty: DIN standards serve as the basis for contracts and can be used as evidence in the event of a dispute.
1. Clear communication: DIN standards create a uniform language in the construction industry and enable clear communication between all parties involved.
2. Quality assurance: Compliance with DIN standards ensures a high quality of construction.
other relevant DIN standards:
DIN 4068
This standard defines the requirements for fonts in technical drawings.
DIN ISO 5455
This standard specifies the standards for technical drawings.
DIN EN ISO 128-23
This standard defines the line types for technical drawings.
Where can I find DIN standards?
You can purchase DIN standards from various providers as individual standards or as standards packages. There are also online portals where you can view or download DIN standards.

Note: The DIN standards mentioned above are only an excerpt. The standards relevant to your specific project depend on the type of construction project and the specific requirements. It is therefore important to always keep yourself informed about the currently valid standards.
Additional tips:
Stay up to date:
The DIN standards are updated regularly. Please keep yourself informed about changes and innovations.
Use software:
There are special software programs that support the creation of construction drawings according to DIN standards.
Consult experts:
If you have any questions about DIN standards, we can support you as CAD professionals.
