This International Standard includes both requirements and guidance for implementation of measurement management systems, and can be useful in improving measurement activities and the quality of products. Organizations have the responsibility to determine the level of controls needed and to specify the measurement management system requirements to be applied as part of their overall management system. Except by agreement, this International Standard is not intended to add to, subtract from, or replace any requirements of other standards. Following the requirements laid down in this International Standard will facilitate compliance with requirements for measurements and measurement process control specified in other standards, for example, ISO 9001:2000, Subclause 7.6, and ISO 14001:1996, Subclause 4.5.1.
