What is ISO 10791?

ISO 10791:2023 – Test Conditions for Machining Centres is an internationally recognized standard published by ISO/TC 39/SC 2. It defines the test procedures for evaluating the performance and geometric accuracy of machining centers (MCs). This includes vertical, horizontal, and universal MCs with tool-changing capabilities.

The standard is divided into multiple parts (ISO 10791-1 to ISO 10791-13), each covering specific testing aspects such as positional accuracy, thermal effects, circular tests, and spindle speed performance. The 2023 version introduces refined methods to adapt to modern multi-axis, high-speed CNC machines, reflecting the technological advancements in precision manufacturing.

Why is ISO 10791 important?

With the rapid evolution of the manufacturing sector, especially in aerospace, automotive, and medical device industries, machining precision is no longer optional — it's essential. ISO 10791:2023 ensures machines deliver consistent output, reduced scrap, and enhanced productivity.

Opting for ISO 10791 compliance through expert consulting ensures:

  1. Your machining centres meet global buyer and OEM requirements.
  2. Benchmarking of machine capabilities becomes possible for internal quality control.
  3. Clear documentation and testing framework aligned with international standards.
  4. Confidence in machine performance during audits and supplier assessments.
