ISO 10012:2003 - Measurement Management Systems

What is ISO 10012?

ISO 10012:2003, Measurement management systems – Requirements for measurement processes and measuring equipment is the ISO standard that specifies generic requirements and provides guidance for the management of measurement processes and metrological confirmation of measuring equipment used to support and demonstrate compliance with metrological requirements.

It specifies quality management requirements of a measurement management system that can be used by an organization performing measurements as part of the overall management system, and to ensure metrological requirements are met.

ISO 10012:2003 is not intended to be used as a requisite for demonstrating conformance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or any other standard. Interested parties can agree to use ISO 10012:2003 as input for satisfying measurement management system requirements in certification activities.

Other standards and guides exist for particular elements affecting measurement results, e.g. details of measurement methods, the competence of personnel, and interlaboratory comparisons.

ISO 10012:2003 is not intended as a substitute for, or as an addition to, the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.
