If either MEA03, MEA05 or MEA06 is used, MEA04 is required.

Code identifying the basic unit of measurement.

The value specifying the minimum of the measurement range.

When citing dimensional tolerances, any measurement requiring a sign (+ or -), or any measurement where a positive (+) value cannot be assumed use MEA05 as the negative (-) value and MEA06 as the positive (+) value.

The value specifying the maximum of the measurement range.

Code used to benchmark, qualify or further define a measurement value.

If MEA07 is used MEA03 is required.
