ISO 10012:2003 MEASUREMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

WHAT IS ISO 10012:2003 MEASUREMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

ISO 10012:2003 outlines basic standards and offers advice on how to oversee measurement processes and verify the accuracy of instruments used to back up and prove adherence to measurement standards. It details the quality control needs of a system for managing measurements within an organization that conducts measurements as part of its overall management framework, ensuring these standards are upheld.

This standard is not meant to serve as a standalone proof of compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or any other specific standard. Parties interested can choose to incorporate ISO 10012:2003 into their processes to fulfill the requirements of a measurement management system during certification processes. There are other standards and resources available for specific aspects that influence measurement outcomes, such as the specifics of measurement techniques, the skills of personnel, and the conduct of interlaboratory comparisons.

ISO 10012:2003 should not be seen as a replacement for, or an extra to, the standards set by ISO/IEC 17025.
