ISO 10012 Certificate

What is ISO 10012?

ISO 10012 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for measurement processes and measuring equipment. The official name of this standard is “ISO 10012:2003 – Measurement management systems – Requirements for measurement processes and measuring equipment”.

The main goal of ISO 10012 is to create a measurement management system that allows organizations to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their measurements. The standard contains requirements for measurement processes, including validation of measuring equipment, metrological confirmation, identification of adverse conditions, technical requirements for measuring equipment, control and monitoring of measurements.

ISO 10012 can be useful for enterprises that have high requirements for measurement accuracy in their processes, for example, in the fields of manufacturing, testing and research. A measurement management system can also be useful for organizations that have measuring, testing, production or quality control laboratories in their structure.
