Its an ISO spec, I havn't seen dual flatness callouts before, what is the meaning of each callout?
Thanks for the help.

Looks like the larger flatness tolerance callout is specified with the circled F modifier which I think means the same thing as in ASME - the requirement is for the free state condition. That suggests that the smaller flatness tolerance is for the restrained condition.
 
Thanks, Burunduk.

For the Free State modifier, are there any differences between ASME GD&T and ISO GPS?

I just know that ISO 10579 is the ISO standard which defines free state modifier.
I don't think there is a big difference between ASME and ISO on this aspect, maybe just some subtle differences which I am not aware about.



 
Just checked the ISO standard, according to the examples from ISO 10579 Annex A (shown below), it seems some errors on my first posted figure, the dual flatness callouts with individual flatness symbol while the example on ISO standard sharing a single flatness symbol. A lot I need to know and learn from GPS.

It's not a mistake, it can be used both ways.

Single symbol can be used also on Position or Profile tolerance for example, but then the reader should be extra careful to which standard is it. If ASME that would be a composite, ISO doesn't have composite callouts.
So in ISO is the same if there is a single symbol or multiple.

Thanks for your information, may I ask any documents to support it.
