Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Inspection by measurement of workpieces and measuring equipment - Part 5: Uncertainty in testing indicating measuring instruments (ISO 14253-5:2015)

This part of  ISO 14253 specifies how to evaluate the measurement uncertainty of the test values obtained when testing GPS indicating measuring instruments, to be used in a decision rule for proving conformance or non-conformance with specifications of that indicating measuring instruments.

Geometrische Produktspezifikation (GPS) - Prüfung von Werkstücken und Messgeräten durch Messen - Teil 5: Unsicherheit bei der Verifizierungsprüfung von anzeigenden Messgeräten (ISO 14253-5:2015)

Dieser Teil von ISO 14253 legt fest, wie die Unsicherheit der nach einer von den beteiligten Parteien vereinbarten Prüfanweisung abgeleiteten Testwerte, die in einer Verifizierungsprüfung von anzeigenden GPS-Messgeräten erhalten wurden, in Bezug auf die Anzeige(n) der betreffenden Messgeräte zu bewerten ist.
ANMERKUNG 1   Die als Testunsicherheit bezeichnete Unsicherheit der Testwerte darf nicht mit der Messunsicherheit verwechselt werden, die mit der Verwendung des betreffenden anzeigenden Messgerätes zur Messung von Werkstücken verbunden ist. In der vorliegenden Norm wird nur die erstere dieser beiden Unsicherheiten behandelt, für Hinweise zur zweiten siehe den ISO/IEC Guide 98 3 (GUM) und ISO 14253 2.
Für den Fall, dass die Prüfung eines anzeigenden Messgerätes mehrere Testwerte umfasst, von denen sich einige auf die Anzeige des Messgerätes und einige auf andere messtechnische Eigenschaften beziehen, gilt der vorliegende Teil von ISO 14253 nur für die Unsicherheit der ersteren.
ANMERKUNG 2   Die zu prüfenden messtechnischen Eigenschaften, deren Unsicherheiten nicht unter diese Internationale Norm fallen, sind in der Messung passiv (siehe Abschnitt 4); für die Anwendung des ISO/IEC Guide 98 3 (GUM) und von ISO 14253 2 auf diese Merkmale sind die speziellen Vorgaben der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm nicht erforderlich.

Spécification géométrique des produits (GPS) - Vérification par la mesure des pièces et des équipements de mesure - Partie 5: Incertitude dans les essais des instruments de mesure d'indication (ISO 14253-5:2015)

ISO 14253-5:2015 spécifie les concepts et les termes pour l'évaluation des incertitudes des valeurs d'essai dérivées selon un protocole d'essai convenu entre les parties et portant sur la (les) indication(s) des instruments, obtenue lors des essais de vérification des appareils de mesure indicateurs GPS.
NOTE          Il ne faut pas confondre l'incertitude des valeurs d'essai, appelée incertitude de valeur d'essai, avec l'incertitude de mesure associée à l'utilisation de cet appareil de mesure indicateur pour mesurer des pièces. Seule la première est couverte par la présente partie de l'ISO 14253; pour toute indication concernant la seconde, voir le Guide ISO/IEC 98‑3 (GUM) et l'ISO 14253‑2.
Lorsqu'un essai sur un appareil de mesure indicateur comprend plusieurs valeurs d'essai, certaines se rapportant à l'indication de l'instrument et d'autres à d'autres caractéristiques métrologiques, la présente partie de l'ISO 14253 ne concerne que l'incertitude de la première.
La présente partie de l'ISO 14253 ne fournit pas les lignes directrices pour assurer l'adéquation d'un protocole d'essai; mais plutôt, une fois qu'un protocole d'essai est donné, il décrit comment évaluer l'incertitude de la valeur d'essai conséquente.

Introduction
This part of ISO 14253 belongs to the general geometrical product specification (GPS) series of documents
(see ISO 14638). It influences chain link F of the chains of standards on size, distance, form, orientation
and run-out in the general GPS matrix.
The ISO/GPS matrix model given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO/GPS system of which this
international standard is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this part of
ISO 14253 and the default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance
with this part of ISO 14253, unless otherwise indicated.
For more detailed information about the relationship of this part of ISO 14253 to other standards and to
the GPS matrix model, see Annex B.
Decision rules for deciding conformity or non-conformity to specifications are based on the measurement
uncertainty incurred while testing.
Usual practice in measurement familiarizes metrologists and practitioners with measurement
uncertainty. Any possible effect that may affect the measurement result is considered and quantified
as an uncertainty component and is eventually included in the combined uncertainty. The purpose
of the measurement is to gather quantitative information on a given measurand, and the uncertainty
statement expresses how reliable that information is.
In the case of tests of indicating measuring instruments, the purpose of the measurement is to investigate
one or more metrological characteristics of the indicating measuring instrument rather than to measure
characteristics of features of a workpiece. The uncertainty being evaluated in this case, the test value
uncertainty, quantifies the accuracy of the test value. The test detects the quality of the indicating
measuring instrument, reported through the test values and not through the test value uncertainty.
The test value uncertainty for indicating measuring instruments is not conceptually trivial to evaluate,
and careful consideration is necessary to determine which uncertainty components should and which
should not be accounted for.
Some tests of indicating measuring instruments may be relative to quantities other than instrument
indications, or a single test may investigate both the instrument indication(s) and other metrological
characteristics. An example is a test of a micrometer investigating the indication error (subject to an MPE)
as well as the measuring force (subject to an MPL). For tests, or portions of them, relative to metrological
characteristics other than instrument indications, this part of ISO 14253 is not applicable: they are
about quantities for which the application of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (GUM) and of the ISO 14253-2 is
conceptually straightforward, with no need of further guidance in this part of ISO 14253.
A rigorous definition of the test value uncertainty when testing indicating measuring instruments is
given. Application of conventional uncertainty evaluation based on this definition and according to the
ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (GUM) and the ISO 14253-2 determines which uncertainty components to account for.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 14253-5:2015(E)
Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Inspection by
measurement of workpieces and measuring equipment —
Part 5:
Uncertainty in testing indicating measuring instruments
1 Scope
This part of ISO 14253 specifies concepts and terms for evaluating the uncertainties of the test values
derived according to a test protocol agreed upon by the parties and relative to instrument indication(s),
obtained in verification testing of GPS indicating measuring instruments.
NOTE The uncertainty of the test values, referred to as test value uncertainty, is not to be confused with the
measurement uncertainty associated with using that indicating measuring instrument to measure workpieces.
The former only is covered in this part of ISO 14253; for guidance on the latter see the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (GUM)
and ISO 14253-2.
When a test of an indicating measuring instrument comprises several test values, some relative to the
instrument indication and some to other metrological characteristics, this part of ISO 14253 is concerned
with the uncertainty of the former only.
This part of ISO 14253 does not provide guidelines to ensure the adequacy of a test protocol; rather, once
a test protocol is given, it describes how to evaluate the consequent test value uncertainty.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the definitions given in ISO 10360-1, ISO 14253-1, ISO/TR 14253-6,
ISO 14978, ISO 17450-2, ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (GUM), ISO/IEC Guide 99 (VIM), and the following apply.
3.1
test (of a GPS indicating measuring instrument)
sequence of preparatory, measurement, mathematical and decisional actions according to a test protocol
Note 1 to entry:  Not all steps in the sequence are necessarily present in a test protocol.
Note 2 to entry:  Tests are often used to verify the specifications of a GPS indicating measuring instrument.
Note 3 to entry:  The specification of an indicating measuring instrument may be expressed by one or more MPEs
(Maximum Permissible Errors).
Note 4 to entry:  Prominent cases of tests are the acceptance test and the reverification test.
Note 5 to entry:  This term is sometimes used in a wider sense, encompassing cases when a test produces, e.g.
a binary or categorical result. An example of a binary assessment is determining whether or not a software
algorithm converged. For the purpose of this part of ISO 14253, tests are restricted to those based on test values.
Note 6 to entry:  See Figure 1.
3.2
test instance
combination of test equipment, set up, measurement sequence, environmental and instrumental
conditions of a test, which yields a test value(s)
3.3
permissible test instance
test instance in compliance with the test protocol, and with the alternatives and stipulations therein
Note 1 to entry:  An alternative occurs when the test protocol allows options, either discrete among enumerated
cases, or continuous in a range of permissible values. An example of the former is the choice of the test equipment,
e.g. a gauge block or a step gauge for testing a CMM; an example of the latter is the ambient temperature within
the required test conditions.
Note 2 to entry:  A stipulation occurs when the test protocol specifies the amount of measurement in a test, e.g. a
specific number of repeated measurements.
Note 3 to entry:  A test may be subject to alternatives and stipulations at the same time. For instance, test
equipment is applied to an indicating measuring instrument in a limited number of configurations (stipulation)
chosen at the tester counterpart’s discretion (alternative).
Note 4 to entry:  Alternatives serve two purposes. (1) To accommodate to actual conditions. For instance,
alternative test equipment to accommodate actual availability, or any environmental condition within the required
test conditions to accommodate the actual testing environment. (2) To leave details of the test unspecified up to
the time of testing, to encourage the indicating measuring instrument manufacturer – in order to avoid non-
acceptance of the instrument – to deliver overall compliant indicating measuring instruments. For instance, some
procedural details may be left to the tester counterpart to decide at the time of testing, to force the manufacturer
to deliver a compliant indicating measuring instrument for any possible procedural option.
3.4
test measurand
metrological characteristic of an indicating measuring instrument intended to be verified in a test,
based on a single permissible test instance, defined by a test protocol
Note 1 to entry: A test protocol may allow for multiple permissible test instances, to adapt to actual circumstances
and to limit the experimental effort. The test measurand is defined for each single test instance, and different
permissible test instances may give raise to different test measurands.

ISO/FDIS 14253-5:2015(E)

3.5
test protocol
predefined detailed specification of a test which defines the test measurand, the required test conditions
and a decision rule
Note 1 to entry:  The test protocol is defined either by relevant standards or – when none is available – by the
tester or the tester counterpart.
Note 2 to entry: The tester and the tester counterpart are to agree upon the test protocol prior to the test.
Note 3 to entry:  A default decision rule is given in ISO 14253-1. See ISO/TR 14253-6 for guidance in defining
alternative decision rules.
Note 4 to entry:  An unambiguous test protocol is crucial for the effectiveness of a test. In particular, the definition
of the set of permissible test instances constitutes a trade-off between thoroughness and practical and economical
viability of the test.
Note 5 to entry:  As the default rule in ISO 14253-1 is stringent and conservative, in this case the verification
approaches a proof in an absolute sense.
3.6
measured test indication
result of a measurement performed in a test, which contributes to the test value according to a test operator
Note 1 to entry:  A test value may be based either on a single or on multiple measured test indications, as stipulated
in the test protocol.
3.7
test operator
predefined sequence of mathematical and/or statistical operations applied to the measured test
indication(s) collected in the test to deliver a test value
Note 1 to entry: Each test value is delivered according to a test operator. In the case of a test yielding multiple test
values (see 3.8 Note 4 to entry), as many test operators are needed.
Note 2 to entry: The operations in the sequence can be divided in four broad categories: outlier rejection, noise
reduction, statistics, and other mathematical operations.
— Examples of outlier rejection: (1) discarding measured test indications above the 99th percentile of the
measured test indications collected in the test; (2) when no more than 2 % of the measured test indications
causes failure to meet the specification, repeating those measurement three times.
— Examples of noise reduction: (1) taking the median of repeated measurement values; (2) performing a
(spatial) frequency analysis and discarding all wavelengths above a predefined threshold.
— Examples of statistics: taking (1) the mean or (2) the maximum of the absolute values of the measured test
indications collected in the test.
— Examples of other mathematical operations: (1) computing a Gaussian (best-fit) sphere associated to the
coordinates obtained as measured test indications, and the individual distances of each measured test indication
to the sphere centre; (2) computing the mean of the measured test indications taken in a scan over a line.
3.8
test value
quantity value measured in a test estimating the magnitude of a test measurand
Note 1 to entry: A test value is based on the measured test indication(s) and is derived according to the test operator.
Note 2 to entry:  A test value cannot usually capture the performance of an indicating measuring instrument in
full, because is limited as regulated by the test protocol.
Note 3 to entry:  A test value may be derived from several measured test indications, according to the test operator.
Note 4 to entry:  A test may yield more than a test value. For example, a test may address several metrological
characteristics of an indicating measuring instrument for which MPE’s are set, resulting in as many test values.

Note 5 to entry: Figure 1 depicts the case of a test with a single MPE. When more are present in a test, items 3 to
7 are repeated for each MPE.
Note 6 to entry: There may be cases when no MPE is set to compare with. Possible examples are when a dismissed
indicating measuring instrument is being reintegrated, or when an MPE originally stated in the data sheet is
being adapted to the actual requirements of a company prior to reverification testing. In these cases, items 5 to 7
are missing, and the test terminates with the determination of the test value(s).
Figure 1 — Schematic of a test
3.9
test value uncertainty
test uncertainty measurement uncertainty associated to a test value
Note 1 to entry:  The test value uncertainty is not a measure of the performance of the indicating measuring
instrument under test; the performance is captured by the test values.
Note 2 to entry:  The test value uncertainty is commonly used in the application of decision rules.
Note 3 to entry:  The test value uncertainty is usually controlled by and is the responsibility of the tester, who usually
provides and uses the test equipment. See 7.4 when alternative test equipment is provided by the tester counterpart.
Note 4 to entry:  The test value uncertainty does not include any definitional uncertainty due to possible non
uniqueness of test values in a permissible test instance. By agreement on the test protocol, the test is valid for any
permissible test instance, for each of which a unique test measurand applies (see 3.4 Note 1 to entry).
Note 5 to entry:  The test value uncertainty reveals neither the effectiveness of a test protocol in assessing a
metrological characteristic, nor the reproducibility of a test value over different permissible test instances.
3.10
test equipment
measuring system and its accessories used in a test, other than the indicating measuring instruments
under test and its recognized accessories
EXAMPLE 1 In the test of a micrometer, the test equipment may be a set of gauge blocks.
EXAMPLE 2 In the test of a CMM, the test equipment may be calibrated test lengths and a calibrated sphere
with their supports.

3.11
instrument-related input quantity
input quantity affecting a test value, associated with the indicating measuring instrument
EXAMPLE 1 The distributed temperature – and its spatial and temporal gradients – of the indicating
measuring instrument.
EXAMPLE 2 The distributed strain due to deformation of the indicating measuring instrument induced by the
load of the test equipment weight.
3.12
test equipment-related input quantity
input quantity affecting a test value, associated with the test equipment
EXAMPLE 1 The distributed temperature – and its spatial and temporal gradients – of the test equipment.
EXAMPLE 2 Displacement of the test equipment relative to the indicating measuring instrument occurring
during the test (drift and rock), and strain of the test equipment due to fixturing.
Note 1 to entry:  While testing indicating measuring instruments, the usual roles in measurement of the indicating
measuring instruments and of the workpieces are reversed (what measures what, see the Introduction).
Typically, for workpiece measurements, a known accuracy indicating measuring instrument measures an
unknown characteristic of the workpiece. But in this part of ISO 14253, known accuracy test equipment is used to
measure test values of unknown accuracy indicating measuring instrument. In light of this, the test equipment-
related input quantities are influence quantities (see VIM 2.52 , EXAMPLE 3), while the instrument-related input
quantities are not.
3.13
tester
party who performs a verification test
3.14
tester counterpart
party in a test other than the tester
Note 1 to entry:  In an acceptance test, the tester counterpart may be either the customer or the supplier, possibly
represented by a third party.
Note 2 to entry:  In a reverification test, the tester counterpart is the user, possibly represented by a third party.
3.15
tester responsibility criterion
criterion according to which an input quantity is accounted for as a test value uncertainty component if
and only if it is controlled by the tester, either directly or indirectly
Note 1 to entry:  Examples of uncertainty components under the tester’s direct control are the thermal stabilization
and the set up of the test equipment.
Note 2 to entry:  Examples of uncertainty components under the tester’s indirect control are the calibration
uncertainties of the test equipment: even if these values are determined by calibration laboratories and not by
the tester, the tester controls them indirectly by selecting which equipment, when alternatives are allowed, and
which calibration laboratory.
3.16
user-provided quantity value
quantity value provided by the user of an indicating measuring instrument in normal operation,
necessary for the indicating measuring instrument to perform as designed
Note 1 to entry:  Indicating measuring instruments use user-provided quantity values to compensate for
predicted systematic effects, e.g. a user-provided CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) of the material of the
workpiece/artefact is used to compensate for its thermal expansion.
Note 2 to entry:  Not all indicating measuring instruments require user-provided quantity values.
