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.
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 ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
Technical Committee CEN/TC 290, Dimensional and geometrical product specification and verification, in
accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 25178-602:2010), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— removal of the terms and the definitions now specified in ISO 25178-600;
— revision of all terms and definitions for clarity and consistency with other ISO standards;
— addition of Clause 4 for instrument requirements, which summarizes the normative features and
characteristics of instruments;
— addition of Clause 5 on metrological characteristics;
— addition of Clause 6 on design features, which clarifies the types of instruments relevant to this document;
— addition of an information flow concept diagram in Clause 4;
— revision of Annex A describing the principles of instruments addressed by this document.
A list of all parts in the ISO 25178 series can be found on the ISO website.

Introduction
This document is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general GPS
standard (see ISO 14638). It influences chain link F of the chains of standards on profile and areal surface
texture.
The ISO GPS matrix model given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO GPS system of which this document
is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this document and the default decision
rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to the specifications made in accordance with this document, unless
otherwise indicated.
For more detailed information on the relation of this document to other standards and the GPS matrix model,
see Annex C.
The principle of confocal chromatic probe can be implemented in various set-ups. The configuration
described in this document comprises three basic elements: an optoelectronic controller, a linking fibre
optic cable and a chromatic objective (sometimes called “optical pen”).
