scope:

This part of ISO 10360 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a 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 part of ISO 10360 are applicable only to Cartesian CMMs using imaging probing systems of any type. This standard does not explicitly apply to non-Cartesian CMMs, however, the parties may apply this part of ISO 10360 to non-Cartesian CMMs by mutual agreement. This standard does not explicitly apply to CMMs using other types of optical probing, however, the parties may apply this approach to other optical CMMs by mutual agreement.
This International Standard 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 proving conformance, and applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.
