scope:

This Standard specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) used for measuring linear dimensions as stated by the manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the CMM.

The acceptance and reverification tests given in this Standard are applicable only to Cartesian CMMs using contacting probing systems of any type operating in the discrete- point probing mode.

This Standard does not explicitly apply to:

- non-Cartesian CMMs; however, parties may apply this Standard to non-Cartesian CMMs by mutual agreement;

- CMMs using optical probing; however, parties may apply this approach to optical CMMs by mutual agreement.

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows: ISO 10360-2: 2009 Geometrical product specifications (GPS)-Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM)Part 2: CMMs used for measuring linear dimensions (IDT)

The symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/ lEC Guide 21-1.
