ISO 10012

ISO 10012 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) which defines requirements for measurement process management and measurement equipment.^[1] The primary goals are to:

Ensure measurement results are accurate and reliable
Reduce measurement-related errors and risks
Provide traceability of measurements to recognized standards

ISO 10012 is not a certification standard by itself. Instead, it acts as a supporting guideline, particularly for:

ISO 9001 – quality management systems^[2]
ISO/IEC 17025 – laboratory competence^[3]

Support quality management systems, particularly those based on ISO 9001
