Question
I thought this question would be most suited to engineering as it is the most appropriate.

I am studying the ISO 10012 standard and am ok with although i need help on the explanation of the following statement.

"Measurement processes must be planned, validated, controlled, documented and implemented"

Please could you put me in the right direction on explaining this statement.

Thanks
Chris

Answer
Measurement processes is inspection method:
Planned = how are you going to measure something.
Validated = is the method, something you can do?
Controlled = is the method consistent and does it have a routine?
Documented = you should have a record of it.
Implemented = you should use the method.

good luck
