Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 5436 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5436-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
This first edition, together with ISO 5436-1, replaces ISO 5436:1985, which has been technically revised.
ISO 5436 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) —
Surface texture: Profile method; Measurement standards:
 Part 1: Material measures
 Part 2: Software measurement standards
Annexes A and B of this part of ISO 5436 are for information only.

ISO 5436-2:2001(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 5436 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general
GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences link 6 of the chain of standards on roughness, waviness and
primary profile.
For more detailed information on the relationship of this part of ISO 5436 to other standards and the GPS matrix
model, see annex B.
This part of ISO 5436, together with ISO 5436-1, introduces two new measurement standards: Type E, for
calibrating the profile co-ordinate system, and Type F, for calibrating software. This part of ISO 5436 is concerned
with software measurement standards.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5436-2:2001(E)

Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) — Surface texture:
Profile method; Measurement standards —
Part 2:
Software measurement standards
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5436 defines Type F1 and Type F2 software measurement standards (etalons) for verifying the
software of measuring instruments. It also defines the file format of Type F1 software measurement standards for
the calibration of instruments for the measurement of surface texture by the profile method as defined in ISO 3274.
NOTE 1 Throughout this part of ISO 5436, the term “softgauge” is used as a substitute for “software measurement standard
Type F1”.
NOTE 2 Formerly, “measurement standards” were referred to as “calibration specimens”.
NOTE 3 ISO 3274 only refers to instruments with independent reference datums.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 5436. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 5436 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.
