criteria, methods, processes and practices. The development of
the technical drawing is made based on current established
industrial requirements . The drawing shall be strictly adhered to
with no modifications allowed.
2. Typical Technical Drawing a drawing that sets dominant and
generally accepted engineering aspects for its technical criteria,
methods, processes and practices. The setting is made based on
the best practices that has been applied on the ground.
