TS EN ISO 10012

TS EN ISO 10012 is the Turkish adoption of the standard that sets requirements for a measurement management system used by an organization to maintain confidence in measurement results. In quality management, this matters because product and service characteristics are often verified through measurement, and decisions are only as sound as the measurements behind them.

What a measurement management system addresses

A measurement management system brings together the selection, verification, calibration, use and control of measurement equipment and measurement processes. From a general technical perspective, its purpose is to keep measurement results fit for use, support understanding of measurement uncertainty and help ensure that data remain consistent over time. That is why it is relevant not only in manufacturing, but also in engineering services and other activities where measurement drives acceptance, process control or conformity decisions.

Boundaries set by the document

The scope is generic and intended for any organization, regardless of type or size, that wants to demonstrate consistent confidence in valid and reliable measurement results and use measurement processes that support customer, statutory and regulatory requirements. The document does not replace the general competence requirements for testing and calibration laboratories in ISO/IEC 17025, and it is not meant to add to them. For organizations operating internal testing or calibration laboratories, those functions may be evaluated separately against ISO/IEC 17025.

• Focuses on consistent confidence in the validity and reliability of measurement results.
• Supports measurement quality as part of wider quality management practice.
• Applies across organizations of any type or size that provide products or services.
• Separates laboratory competence considerations from the scope of ISO/IEC 17025.
