ISO 10360-12:2016规定了通过测量制造商规定的校准测试长度来验证铰接臂CMM的性能的验收测试。它还指定了重新验证测试，使用户能够定期重新验证铰接臂CMM的性能。它适用于使用触觉探头和可选的光学距离传感器（也称为激光线扫描仪或激光线探头）的铰接臂CMM。有关扫描仪附件测试的详细信息，请参见附录E. ISO 10360-12:2016没有明确规定测试的频率，如果完全没有指定哪一方应承担测试成本。 ISO 10360的这一部分规定 - 可由制造商或铰接臂CMM的用户分配的性能要求， - 执行验收和重新验证测试的方式，以证明所述的要求， - 证明一致性的规则 - 可以使用验收和重新验证测试的应用程序

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.
