ISO 25178 defines 3D surface texture parameters and the associated specification operators. It also describes the applicable measurement technologies, calibration methods, together with the physical calibration standards and calibration software that are required. A major new feature incorporated into the standard is coverage of non-contact measurement methods, already commonly used by industry, but up until now lacking a standard to support quality audits within the framework of ISO 9000. For the first time, the standard brings 3D surface metrology methods into the official domain, following 2D profilometric methods that have been subject to standards for over 30 years. The same thing applies
ISO 20252 ISO 20252 ISO 20252:2012 is an international quality standard first published in 2006 as a replacement for the existing British Standards BS 7911:2003. It was subsequently updated in 2012. Developed by an ISO Technical Committee in liaison with professional bodies EFAMRO, ESOMAR and WAPOR, the standard sets out requirements in a Quality Management System for organizations conducting market, opinion and social research. The standard is divided into five sections which collectively cover the end-to-end process of a research project. These sections are: In the UK the Market Research Society (a member of the EFAMRO which sits on the ISO liaison
