DIN EN ISO 10012 is an international standard that specifies requirements for measurement management in organizations. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to ensure that measurements within organizations are reliable, accurate and traceable.
ISO 10012 defines the requirements for a measurement management system (MMS) and covers various aspects, including
Measurement process: the organization shall establish a systematic approach to the management of measurements, including the planning, execution and evaluation of measurements.
Measurement equipment: The standard specifies requirements for the selection, calibration, verification and monitoring of measurement equipment to ensure that it has the required accuracy and reliability.
Measurement uncertainty: Organizations must evaluate and document the uncertainty of measurements to ensure that the accuracy of measurement results is adequately considered.
Compliance with ISO 10012 enables organizations to ensure the reliability and traceability of their measurements, which in turn leads to improved quality management and product safety. The standard is particularly prevalent in industries where accurate measurements are critical, such as healthcare, aerospace, automotive and manufacturing.
