(Main)Quality management — Requirements for measurement management systems
Quality management — Requirements for measurement management systems
ISO 10012:2003 specifies generic requirements and provides guidance for the management of measurement processes and metrological confirmation of measuring equipment used to support and demonstrate compliance with metrological requirements. It specifies quality management requirements of a measurement management system that can be used by an organization performing measurements as part of the overall management system, and to ensure metrological requirements are met. ISO 10012:2003 is not intended to be used as a requisite for demonstrating conformance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or any other standard. Interested parties can agree to use ISO 10012:2003 as an input for satisfying measurement management system requirements in certification activities. Other standards and guides exist for particular elements affecting measurement results, for example, details of measurement methods, competence of personnel, interlaboratory comparisons. ISO 10012:2003 is not intended as a substitute for, or as an addition to, the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.
Management de la qualité — Exigences pour les systèmes de management de la mesure
L'ISO 10012:2003 est destinée à fournir des exigences génériques et des guides d'application pour le management des processus de mesure et pour la confirmation des équipements de mesure utilisés pour démontrer la conformité aux exigences métrologiques. Elle spécifie les exigences qualité relatives au système de management de la mesure qu'un organisme effectuant des mesures peut utiliser et intégrer dans le cadre du système de management global et qui est destiné à garantir que les exigences métrologiques sont satisfaites. L'ISO 10012:2003 n'est pas destinée à être requise pour démontrer la conformité avec l'ISO 9001, avec l'ISO 14001 ou avec toute autre norme. Les parties intéressées peuvent convenir d'utiliser la présente Norme internationale comme point d'entrée à la satisfaction des exigences relatives au système de management de la mesure dans des activités de certification. L'ISO 10012:2003 n'est destinée ni à être substituée ni à être ajoutée aux exigences de l'ISO/IEC 17025.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of

Introduction
This International standarddocument assists organizations who have or would like to implement
a measurement management system, by providing the necessary framework for an organization in designing,
maintaining and continually improving a measurement management system.
This is a major revision of ISO 10012:2003 international standard, whose purpose is to establish the basis for
an organization to implement and improve a measurement management system for end-to-end application of
measurement processes in the organization (see Figure 1).
The main objective of a measurement management system is to provide confidence in the validity and
reliability of the measurement results and ensure capability to supportingsupport the measurement of the
organization’s delivered products and/or services at the required quality level. This includes managing the
risk associated with measurement processes that couldcan produce incorrect measurement results affecting
the quality of an organization’s products and/or services.
A measurement management system can be implemented in the design and development, test, monitoring
and delivering of valid measurement results. It also provides an organization with the basis to demonstrate
conformity to measurement management system requirements.
This document can be used by any industrial sectors requiring a measurement management system, and is
complementary to the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or other management system standards.
The implementation of a management system for confirmation of validity of measurements is an important
decision for an organization to establish a robust measurement management system that will provide a
consistent level of measurement quality for an organization’sits products and services.

Quality management — Requirements for measurement management
systems
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for a measurement management system when an organization:
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently ensure confidence in validity and reliability of
measurement results and thereby to provide a consistent level of measurement quality for an
organization’s products and services;
b) aims to rely on reliable and valid measurement results useful to enhance customer satisfaction and
effectively apply its measurement management system processes;
c) implements processes for a measurement management system that enhance conformity with customer,
statutory and regulatory requirements.
All the requirements of this document are generic. This document is applicable to any organization, regardless
of its type or size, or the products and services it provides. This includes those organizations manufacturing
products, and providing engineering services (except for calibration and test services included within the
scope of ISO/IEC 17025).
This document is not intended to substitute requirements for, or to add requirements to, the general
requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories specified in ISO/IEC 17025.
NOTE For organizations that operate internal testing and calibration laboratories, the competence of those functions
can be evaluated in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025.
