ISO 10360-7:2011规定了用于验证用于测量线性尺寸的坐标测量机（CMM）的性能的验收测试，如制造商所述。它还指定重新验证测试，使用户能够定期重新验证CMM的性能。 ISO 10360-7:2011中给出的验收和重新验证测试仅适用于使用在离散点探测模式下工作的任何类型的成像探测系统的笛卡尔CMM。 ISO 10360-7:2011没有明确规定:非笛卡尔坐标测量机，虽然各方可以通过相互协议将其应用于非笛卡尔坐标测量机; CMM使用其他类型的光学探测，尽管各方可以通过相互协议将此方法应用于其他光学CMM; CMM使用接触探测系统（见ISO 10360-2接触探测系统）。 ISO 10360-7:2011规定了可由制造商或CMM用户分配的性能要求，执行验收和重新验证测试的方式，以证明所述要求，证明符合性的规则和验收规范并且可以使用重新验证测试

ISO 10360-7:2011 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) used for measuring linear dimensions as stated by the manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the CMM. The acceptance and reverification tests given in ISO 10360-7:2011 are applicable only to Cartesian CMMs using imaging probing systems of any type operating in the discrete-point probing mode. ISO 10360-7:2011 does not explicitly apply to: non-Cartesian CMMs, although parties may apply it to non-Cartesian CMMs by mutual agreement; CMMs using other types of optical probing, although parties may apply this approach to other optical CMMs by mutual agreement; CMMs using contact probing systems (see ISO 10360-2 for contact probing systems). ISO 10360-7:2011 specifies performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of a CMM, the manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated requirements, rules for proving conformance, and applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.
