Note : In arriving at the trimmed sizes of drawing paper, the following basic principles, which have been dealt with in IS: 1064-1961*, have been taken into consideration:

a)	Two successive sizes of the series are obtained by halving or doubling. Consequently, the surface areas of two successive sizes are in the ratio of 1:2 (see Fig. 1).
b)	The formats or forms are geometrically similar to one another, the sides of each size being in the ratio of 1:�`2.
c)	The surface area of the basic size A0 is one square metre.
