Oval / obround inspection symbol

Oval / obround inspection symbol

Pro/E allows you to display a dimension as Inspection, encircled by an
oval or obround. Is there a standard that provides for this usage?

I just looked through ASME Y14.5M-1994 (our corporate standard) and
found no mention of inspection at all. A web search suggests there's no
standard for marking of inspection dimensions.

They seem to be commonly used, but I think a note is necessary to
explain their purpose and what type of sampling (first article
inspection or ongoing) is expected. They are certainly more convenient
to use than a separate flag note or symbol.

Thanks,
Wallace

Inspection dimension conforms to DIN standards according to TPI 110734 on
the PTC website.
