Annex A (informative) Example of the specification of
         permissible residual unbalance based on balance quality
         grade G and allocation to the tolerance planes
 Annex B (informative) Specification of balance tolerances based
         on bearing force limits
 Annex C (informative) Specification of balance tolerances based
         on vibration limits
 Annex D (informative) Specification of balance tolerances based
         on established experience
 Annex E (informative) Rules for allocating balance tolerances
         from tolerance planes to correction planes
 Bibliography

Gives specifications for rotors in a constant (rigid) state. It specifies: a) balance tolerances, b) the necessary number of correction planes, and c) methods for verifying the residual unbalance.
