ISO 1100 Geometrical Product Specifications - Dimensional Measuring Equipment Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The ISO 1100 series of standards is a set of international standards that govern the geometrical product specifications for dimensional measuring equipment. These standards are developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with other standard development organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 1100 testing is governed by various national and international regulations. In Europe, the EUs Metrology Regulation (2016/443) requires that dimensional measuring equipment be calibrated and certified in accordance with the relevant ISO standards.

International and National Standards

Some of the key standards that apply to ISO 1100 testing include:

  • ISO 1101: Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Geometrical tolerancing
  • ISO 1102: Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Geometrical tolerancing of axes
  • ISO 1103: Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Geometrical tolerancing of straight and curved edges
  • EN ISO 4287: Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Surface texture: Profile method for the assessment of surface texture
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development organizations involved in developing and maintaining these standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)
  • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve and get updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, industry needs, and regulatory requirements. For example, the latest version of ISO 1101 was published in 2019 and includes new tolerancing methods and techniques.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have varying compliance requirements for dimensional measuring equipment. Some examples include:

  • Automotive: Requires calibration and certification to EN ISO 4287
