3 Requirements
An assembly drawing includes, as applicable:
(a) two or more parts, subordinate assemblies, or combination of these items;
(b) a parts list specifying the unique identifier for all items which become a part of the assembly
(c) requirements for decorative or protective finishes, processes, settings and adjustments, and other
relevant data necessary to complete the item as an assembly;
(d) depiction of the items in the assembly relationship,using sufficient detail for identification and
orientation of the items. Details of a subordinate assembly are not normally repeated on the
assembly drawing of a higher order.
(e) electrical items depicted as they are to be mounted; however, small electrical items mounted by
wire connections only may be located either by depiction on the assembly drawing or inclusion in the
pertinent wiring list or connection diagram
(f) cross-reference to applicable installation drawings, wiring lists, schematic diagrams, test
specifications, associated lists, etc.;
(g) a unique identifier assigned to each assembly configuration;
(h) identification marking requirements.

Attaching parts (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) required to mount assemblies in next higher assemblies
or on foundations are called out in the parts list of the drawing that define that attachment (usually
the higher level assembly or installation drawing).

Assembly drawings may be tabulated in accordance with 1.8 by specifying variable items in the parts
list. The pictorial representation depicts all tabulated versions. If necessary to depict differences,
separate views may be used.

1.8 Tabulation
Any drawing type may be tabulated to delineate similar items which, as a group, have some common
characteristics and some variable features.
1.8.1 Application Guidelines. Tabulated drawings are prepared to avoid preparation of individual
drawings for each similar. item tabulated.
1.8.2 Requirements. The differences (variables between the items) defined by the drawing are
tabulated. The common characteristics are delineated or stated once. Each item is uniquely
identified. Normally, a single pictorial representation is shown. For example: variable dimensions are
coded by letters used as headings for columns in a tabulation block. Variables are entered in the table
under the appropriate heading and on the same line as the unique identifier for the specific item. The
description for each tabulated item is as complete as that of an individual item described on the
specific drawing type.
