ISO 10360-12:2016规定了通过测量制造商规定的校准试验长度来验证铰接臂坐标测量机性能的验收试验。它还规定了重新验证测试，使用户能够定期重新验证铰接臂坐标测量机的性能。它适用于使用触觉探头和可选光学距离传感器（也称为激光线扫描仪或激光线探头）的关节臂坐标测量机。扫描仪附件的测试详情见附录E。 ISO 10360-12:2016没有规定测试的频率或时间（如果有），也没有规定测试费用应由哪一方承担。 ISO 10360的本部分规定 -可由铰接臂坐标测量机的制造商或用户指定的性能要求， -验收和再认证测试的执行方式，以证明所述要求， -证明合规性的规则，以及 -可使用验收和再认证测试的应用。

ISO 10360-12:2016 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of an articulated arm CMM by measuring calibrated test lengths as stated by the manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the articulated arm CMM. It applies to articulated arm CMMs using tactile probes and optionally optical distance sensors (also referred to as laser line scanners or laser line probes). Details on tests for scanner accessories are given in Annex E. ISO 10360-12:2016 does not specify how often or when testing is performed, if at all, nor does it specify which party should bear the cost of testing. This part of ISO 10360 specifies - performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of the articulated arm 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.
