Full title and description

Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 1: Vocabulary. This part of ISO 10360 establishes the vocabulary and definitions used for coordinate measuring machines and for their acceptance and periodic reverification tests, providing the common terms needed across the ISO 10360 series.

Abstract

This standard defines terms and definitions for CMMs, measuring and probing systems, measurement artefacts, error and performance descriptions, and test-related vocabulary used when performing acceptance and reverification tests on coordinate measuring machines. It is intended to ensure consistent terminology across manufacturers, laboratories and users of CMM equipment.

General information

• Number of pages: 44 pages (original publication).

Scope

ISO 10360-1:2000 establishes the vocabulary for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and for the acceptance and periodic reverification tests described in the ISO 10360 series. It provides standardized definitions for CMM components, probing and stylus systems, measurement artefacts, feature and error terminology, and related test concepts; informative annexes give background and relationships within the GPS framework.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized vocabulary for CMMs and associated measuring systems (definitions of CMM, probing system, stylus, probing point, scanning, etc.).
• Terms for acceptance and reverification tests (e.g., definition of test artefacts, measurement features, and performance characteristics used in subsequent parts of ISO 10360).
• Error and uncertainty-related terminology to support consistent reporting across parts 2–6 of the series.
• References to informative annexes that place the vocabulary in the wider GPS (Geometrical Product Specification) matrix.
• Identification of corrigendum/actions that affect definitions (noting ISO 10360-1/Cor 1:2002).

Typical use and users

Used by metrology laboratories, CMM manufacturers, quality and inspection engineers, calibration service providers, standards committees, and purchasing/specification engineers. The vocabulary supports clearer specifications, test reports, procurement documents, and calibration/acceptance procedures for CMM equipment.

Related standards

ISO 10360 is a multipart series addressing acceptance and reverification tests for CMMs. Closely related parts include ISO 10360-2 (CMMs for linear dimensions), ISO 10360-3 (CMMs with rotary-table fourth axis), ISO 10360-4 (CMMs in scanning mode), ISO 10360-5 (multiple-stylus probing systems) and ISO 10360-6 (estimation of errors for Gaussian associated features). Part 1 provides the vocabulary used throughout these parts; a Corrigendum (2002) amends part 1 where indicated.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10360-1:2000 is Part 1 of the ISO 10360 series that defines the vocabulary for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and the acceptance and periodic reverification tests applied to them.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers standardized terms and definitions for CMM components, probing and stylus systems, measurement artefacts, feature and error terminology, and test-related concepts used by the remainder of the ISO 10360 series. Informative annexes explain the relationship to the GPS framework.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Metrology and quality engineers, CMM manufacturers, calibration and testing laboratories, standards bodies, and procurement/specification professionals use it to ensure consistent language in CMM specifications, reports and test procedures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2000 edition (Edition 1) remains the published version; ISO records show the document was subject to the ISO systematic review process and was confirmed (review/confirmation actions recorded, most recently in 2022), and a corrigendum was issued in 2002. Users should check for any later amendments or national adoptions before relying on the standard for procurement or certification.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10360 is a multipart standard. Part 1 is the vocabulary; subsequent parts specify acceptance and reverification test methods for different CMM types and measurement modes (parts 2–6).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Coordinate measuring machine, CMM, vocabulary, acceptance test, reverification, probing system, stylus, measurement artefact, GPS, metrology.
