Measurement Management Systems - Requirements for Measurement Processes and Measuring Equipment

This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 10012, Measurement management systems - Requirements for measurement processes and measuring equipment, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 10012 (first edition, 2003-04-15). This Standard replaces CSA Standards CAN/CSA-ISO 10012-1-97 (adopted ISO 10012-1:1992), Quality assurance requirements for measuring equipment. Part 1: Metrological confirmation system for measuring equipment, and CAN/CSA-ISO 10012-2-98 (adopted ISO 10012-2:1997), Quality assurance requirements for measuring equipment - Part 2: Guidelines for control of measurement processes.

The ISO 9000 and 10000 family of Standards were developed by quality experts from around the world, under the auspices of ISO Technical Committee 176. Canada plays a major role in this area. The Secretariat of ISO/TC 176 is held by CSA on behalf of Canada's member body in ISO, the Standards Council of Canada.

Canadian stakeholders participate actively in the administration and development of the ISO 9000 and 10000 family of International Standards through CSA's national consensus development forum. The CSA Technical Committee on Quality Management is the source of Canadian experts and public input for the ISO 9000 and ISO 10000 Standards. In its capacity as the Canadian Advisory Committee to ISO/TC 176 (CAC/ISO/TC 176), the Technical Committee is responsible for:

(a) developing and submitting coordinated Canadian responses, comments, and voting actions on ISO/TC 176 documents;

(b) providing the Canadian delegates participating at international meetings of ISO/TC 176 and its Working groups; and

(c) recommending the Canadian position for delegates to take in international meetings.
