ISO 18322:2017规定了空间测试中心何时需要证明其有能力持续提供满足客户要求的空间测试的要求。 它规定了空间测试中心的要求，适用于测试过程、测试人员（客户和空间测试中心的人员）、测试设施、测试环境以及与客户要求的空间测试中心负责的测试项目相关的任何操作。 ISO 18322:2017还定义了空间测试和测试设施开发的要求。 ISO 18322:2017最初的编制重点是环境测试（即热真空、振动、声学、电磁兼容性（EMC）、射频（RF）、物理性能测量等）。 ISO 18322:2017适用于作为独立组织的空间测试中心，或属于上级组织的空间测试中心。ISO 18322:2017是为提供空间和发射段元件和子系统测试服务的组织编制的。

ISO 18322:2017 specifies requirements for when a space test centre needs to demonstrate its competence to consistently provide space testing that meets customer requirements. It specifies requirements for space test centres, applicable to the test process, test personnel (both, of the customer and the space test centre), test facilities, test environment and any operations related to the test item under responsibility of the space test centre as requested by the customer. ISO 18322:2017 also defines the requirements for space testing and the development of test facilities. ISO 18322:2017 was originally prepared with a focus on environmental testing (i.e. thermal vacuum, vibrations, acoustic, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Radio Frequency (RF), physical properties measurements, etc.). ISO 18322:2017 applies to space test centres as self-standing organizations, or those belonging to a parent organization. ISO 18322:2017 has been prepared for organizations providing test services for space and launch segment elements and subsystems.
