ISO 10012:2003 Measurement management systems
Measurement management system: set of interrelated or interacting elements necessary to achieve metrological confirmation and continual control of measurement processes.
Metrological characteristic: distinguishing feature which can influence the results of measurement. Measuring equipment usually has several metrological characteristics. Metrological characteristics can be the subject of calibration.
Metrological confirmation: set of operations required to ensure that measuring equipment conforms to the requirements for its intended use. Metrological confirmation generally includes calibration and verification, any necessary adjustment or repair, and subsequent recalibration, comparison with the metrological requirements for the intended use of the equipment, as well as any required sealing and labelling. Metrological confirmation is not achieved until and unless the fitness of the measuring equipment for the intended use has been demonstrated and documented. The requirements for intended use include such considerations as range, resolution and maximum permissible errors. Metrological requirements are usually distinct from, and are not specified in, product requirements.
Metrological function: function with administrative and technical responsibility for defining and implementing the measurement management system.
