scope:

ISO 10360 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a CMM (coordinate measuring machine) when measuring lengths 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 part of ISO 10360 are applicable only to Cartesian CMMs with optical distance sensors. This standard does not explicitly apply to non-Cartesian CMMs, however, the parties may apply this part of 10360 to non-Cartesian CMMs by mutual agreement. This part of ISO 10360 specifies: - performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of the CMM, - the manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated requirements, - rules for verifying conformance, and - applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.
