Glossary I

ISO 8514-2 is a standard within the realm of quality management, specifically focusing on the calibration of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). This standard provides detailed guidelines and procedures for the calibration of CMMs, ensuring their accuracy and reliability in measuring geometric dimensions and tolerances of manufactured parts. It outlines requirements for the calibration process, including equipment, procedures, and documentation, to verify and maintain the performance of CMMs within specified tolerances. ISO 8514-2 addresses various aspects of CMM calibration, such as geometric accuracy, probing performance, and environmental influences, to ensure consistent and traceable measurement results. Compliance with this standard helps organizations uphold quality assurance practices and meet regulatory requirements in industries where precise dimensional measurements are critical.
