The margins along the edge of the monument to allow for chipping should be not less than how many centimeters?

Edge margins on monuments act as a protective buffer, absorbing minor chipping that can occur during transport, erection, cleaning, or daily wear, so the main faces stay intact. The standard sets a minimum of two centimeters for these margins, which provides enough space to prevent small chips from reaching the inscription or surface while keeping the overall proportions reasonable. A too-small margin, such as one centimeter, wouldn’t offer adequate protection, while margins larger than two centimeters are acceptable if desired, but the minimum to meet the standard is two centimeters.
