TS EN ISO 10012

TS EN ISO 10012 is a standard focused on measurement management systems, with particular emphasis on managing measurement processes and measuring equipment, including metrological confirmation. Its purpose is to set out general requirements and guidance that help support and demonstrate conformity with metrological requirements.

Core concepts in measurement management

In this context, a measurement process is treated as an integrated activity whose result depends not only on the instrument itself, but also on the method, environment, operator, and traceability arrangement. Measuring equipment refers to the instruments, devices, or systems used to obtain the measurement result. Metrological confirmation is a general metrology concept covering the coordinated use of calibration, adjustment, verification, and related records to show that equipment is suitable for its intended use.

Technical scope reflected by the document

• generic requirements for managing measurement processes
• generic requirements for metrological confirmation of measuring equipment
• guidance for supporting and demonstrating conformity with metrological requirements
• linking measurement control with quality management and assurance activities

In general technical practice, a system of this kind is used to improve the reliability of measurement results, reduce the risk of using unsuitable equipment, and support consistency in decision-making. In quality management, manufacturing, laboratory, maintenance, and inspection settings, controlling measurement means addressing calibration status, acceptance criteria, and the suitability of the measurement method together.
