本标准建立了规定和测试CNC加工中心性能的方法。除了澄清性能评估外，本标准还通过统一术语、一般机器分类和环境影响处理，促进了机器之间的性能比较。它提供了一系列测试，应用于对新机器和翻新机器进行验收测试（径流测试），并可用于通过定期测试验证已在运行的生产机器的持续能力。验收测试集和机器符合性的规范限制应为供应商和用户之间合同协议的主题。这个标准比较全面,；因此，对于较小且价格较低的机器，规格的符合性可以基于评估机器性能的推荐测试子集。

This Standard establishes methodology for specifying and testing the performance of CNC machining centers. In addition to clarifying the performance evaluation, this Standard facilitates performance comparisons between machines by unifying terminology, general machine classification, and the treatment of environmental effects. It provides a series of tests that should be used to perform acceptance testing (runoff) of new and reconditioned machines and could be used to verify continued capability of production machines, already in operation, through periodic testing. The set of acceptance tests and the specification limits for machine conformance shall be the subject of contractual agreement between the Supplier and the User. This Standard is rather comprehensive; therefore, for smaller and less expensive machines the conformance to specifications could be based on a recommended subset of tests to evaluate machine performance.
