Full title and description
Building construction — Modular coordination — Storey heights and room heights. This International Standard specifies nominal sizes for modular storey heights and modular room heights and gives rules for determining vertical modular dimensions in buildings, following the principles of modular coordination established in related ISO publications.
Abstract
ISO 6512:1982 establishes sizes of modular storey heights and modular room heights for all types of buildings in accordance with the principles and rules of modular coordination (see ISO 2848 and ISO 6511). It provides rules for determining vertical modular dimensions and identifies the storey height as the generally preferred vertical modular dimension within a modular coordination system.

Scope
Specifies nominal, modular sizes for storey heights and room heights to be used in modular coordination for building construction, and gives rules for selecting vertical modular dimensions consistent with the modular grid (basic module). It applies to all building types and is intended to ensure component and dimensional coordination in vertical directions of buildings.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of nominal modular storey heights and nominal modular room heights used in modular coordination.
- Rules for determining vertical modular dimensions based on the basic module and modular grid principles.
- Establishment of storey height as the preferred vertical modular dimension for coordination purposes.
- Cross‑references to modular coordination standards (e.g., ISO 2848, ISO 6511) and normative references that define the basic module and vocabulary.
- Guidance to support dimensional coordination of prefabricated components and building services in vertical layouts.
Typical use and users
Used by architects, building designers, planners, manufacturers of prefabricated building components, façade and partition suppliers, and standards committees involved in modular coordination and dimensional coordination for building projects.
Related standards
Belongs to the modular coordination family of standards. Key related publications include ISO 2848 (Principles and rules of modular coordination), ISO 6511, ISO 1006 (basic module), ISO 1791 (vocabulary), and the more recent replacement standard ISO 21723:2019 which supersedes ISO 6512:1982.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 6512:1982 is an ISO International Standard that sets out nominal sizes and rules for modular storey heights and room heights used in modular coordination for building construction.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the selection and sizing of vertical modular dimensions (storey heights and room heights), the rules for determining those sizes in accordance with modular coordination principles, and the recommendation that storey height be the preferred vertical modular dimension.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Architects, engineers, building designers, manufacturers of prefabricated building elements, planners, and organizations implementing modular coordination in construction projects.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 6512:1982 has been withdrawn and is superseded by ISO 21723:2019; the withdrawal took effect on 3 September 2019 (ISO 21723:2019 is the newer, consolidated reference for modular coordination of vertical dimensions).
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is part of the ISO modular coordination series and is intended to be used alongside standards such as ISO 2848, ISO 6511, ISO 1006 and ISO 1791 that define principles, basic modules and vocabulary for modular coordination.
Q: What are the key keywords?
