Full title and description

Industrial automation systems and integration — Physical device control — Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS). This International Standard defines a neutral, machine- and human-readable language (DMIS) for exchange of dimensional measurement programs, product and equipment definitions, measurement instructions and measurement results for coordinate metrology equipment.

Abstract

ISO 22093:2011 (DMIS) provides an execution language and exchange format to enable bidirectional communication between information systems and dimensional measuring equipment (DME). It conveys nominal product definitions, tolerances, datums and coordinate systems; describes measurement resources and sensors; specifies measurement and motion instructions; and supports reporting and tagging of measurement results to support product acceptance, verification and manufacturing-process validation. DMIS is maintained in coordination with industry bodies to promote interoperability.

General information

• Status: Published / Confirmed international standard (edition 2, 2011).

• Number of pages: 708 pages (ISO bibliographic record).

Scope

Defines DMIS as a neutral language and data-exchange format for dimensional measurement part programs and metrology data used with coordinate metrology systems. The scope includes product definitions (features, tolerances, datums, coordinate systems), equipment definitions (sensors, measurement resources, machine parameters), measurement/motion instructions for DMEs, and conventions for analysis and reporting of measurement results; it also addresses subsets for conformance and the associativity of DMIS with CAD data.

Key topics and requirements

• DMIS execution language: syntax and semantics for measurement programs and commands.
• Product-definition constructs: features, geometric tolerances, functional datums, and part coordinate systems.
• Equipment and sensor definitions: representation of measurement devices, probes, scanning and touch sensors, and machine resources.
• Measurement process and motion instructions: sequences to control DME for measurement and verification.
• Result reporting and tagging: formats for measurement results, pass/fail reporting, and traceability.
• Application subsets and conformance tests: defined subsets to ensure interoperability between systems.
• Interoperability and maintenance: industry stewardship (Digital Metrology Standards Consortium) and coordination with CAD/QIF ecosystems.

Typical use and users

Used by coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturers, metrology software vendors, laboratory and shop-floor metrology engineers, quality and inspection departments, OEMs and contract measurement providers to exchange measurement programs and results, automate inspection routines, and ensure traceable, interoperable measurement processes across equipment and software.

Related standards

ISO 22093:2011 replaces ISO 22093:2003 (withdrawn). It sits within the ISO/TC 184/SC 1 portfolio on industrial automation and physical device control and is commonly used alongside CAD/PMI and QIF-related metrology data standards and national/adopted versions (for example BS ISO 22093). The DMIS specification is also maintained and extended by industry groups such as the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 22093:2011 defines the Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS), a neutral language and data format for exchanging dimensional measurement programs, product/equipment definitions and measurement results for coordinate metrology equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers DMIS syntax and semantics, product-definition constructs (features, tolerances, datums), equipment and sensor descriptions, measurement and motion instructions, result reporting formats, application subsets for conformance, and associativity with CAD and related metrology data.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: CMM and metrology-equipment manufacturers, metrology and inspection software vendors, quality and inspection engineers in manufacturing, metrology labs and OEMs use DMIS to automate inspection, exchange programs and results, and achieve interoperability.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 22093:2011 is the 2nd edition published in May 2011 and is listed as published/confirmed in ISO records; the 2003 edition was withdrawn and superseded by the 2011 edition. Ongoing maintenance and industry updates to the DMIS specification are coordinated through industry bodies such as DMSC/DMSC-related working groups. Users should check national standards bodies or the DMSC for the latest DMIS package/version and any confirmations.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the ISO family of standards under ISO/TC 184/SC 1 (industrial automation systems and integration — physical device control). DMIS itself is a standalone specification often used alongside CAD/PMI and QIF metrology-data standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: DMIS, Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard, measurement program, coordinate metrology, CMM, metrology data, interchange format, interoperability.
