1.3.3 Invocation of Referenced Standards The following examples define the invocation ofa stan- dardwhenspecifiedinSection2 andreferencedinthetext of this Standard:
(a) When a referenced standard is cited in the textwith no limitations to a specific subject or paragraphs of the standard, the entire standard is invoked. For example, “Dimensioning and tolerancing shall be in accordance with ASME Y14.5” is invoking the complete standard because the subject of the standard is dimensioning and tolerancing and no specific subject or paragraphs within the standard are invoked.

For example, “Assign part or identifying numbers in accor- dance with ASME Y14.100” is invoking only the para- graphs on part or identifying numbers because the subject of the standard is engineering drawing practices andpartoridentifyingnumbersisaspecificsubjectwithin the standard.
(c) When a referenced standard is cited in the text without an invoking statement such as “in accordance with,” the standard is invoked for guidance only. For example, “For gaging principles, see ASME Y14.43” is only for guidance and no portion of the standard is invoked.
