1. Introduction and Scope

ISO 14253‑1 is a fundamental standard within the Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) system. It establishes decision rules for verifying whether a manufactured workpiece or a measuring instrument conforms to a given specification limit (e.g., upper or lower tolerance limit) when measurement uncertainty is present.

The key purpose is to resolve ambiguity: No measurement is perfect. Even with a high‑quality measuring system, there is always uncertainty. ISO 14253‑1 tells industry how to decide “pass” or “fail” while accounting for that uncertainty — thereby reducing false acceptances (consumer risk) and false rejections (producer risk).

The standard applies to:

• Workpiece inspection (e.g., a machined shaft diameter)
• Measuring equipment verification (e.g., checking a calliper against a standard)
• Any GPS characteristic (size, form, orientation, location, runout, etc.)

It explicitly refers to ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3 (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, GUM) for evaluating measurement uncertainty.

2.2 Measurement uncertainty ((U))

Expanded uncertainty at a given confidence level (typically 95%, (k=2)), covering the doubt about the measured value.
