ISO 230

ISO 230:2023 is an internationally recognized standard that defines the geometric accuracy and performance evaluation of machine tools. It provides test procedures to assess the dynamic and static accuracy of machines, ensuring precision in manufacturing processes. ISO 230 consists of several parts, each covering different aspects of machine tool performance such as linear motion, positioning accuracy, spindle performance, and thermal effects.

Quality Asia Certification offers ISO 230:2023 certification to support organizations in demonstrating their compliance with the latest industry standards for machine tool performance and reliability.

What is ISO 230?

ISO 230:2023, titled "Test code for machine tools", is a multi-part series of standards that evaluate and verify the technical capabilities of machine tools. This standard is crucial for manufacturers aiming for high-precision engineering and global competitiveness.

Some major parts of ISO 230 include:

  1. Part 1: Geometric accuracy
  2. Part 2: Positioning accuracy
  3. Part 3: Thermal effects
  4. Part 4: Circular tests for numerically controlled machines
  5. Part 7: Geometric accuracy of axes of rotation

By certifying under ISO 230:2023, businesses can validate the accuracy, consistency, and quality of their machine tools against international benchmarks.

Why is ISO 230 important?

Precision and consistency are vital in modern manufacturing. ISO 230:2023 is designed for manufacturers who want to ensure that their CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, and other machine tools meet global expectations. As industries move toward Industry 4.0 and demand tighter tolerances and automation, machine tool performance must be reliable, validated, and traceable.

ISO 230:2023 certification ensures that your equipment performs as intended—without deviations that could lead to quality failures or customer dissatisfaction.

What are the benefits of ISO 230?

  1. Improved machine reliability through standardized testing and calibration
  2. Enhanced manufacturing accuracy, reducing rework and waste
  3. Support for predictive maintenance through data-driven performance evaluations
  4. International compliance that builds credibility in global markets
  5. Standardization across facilities, enabling process consistency and cost savings
  6. Supports R&D and innovation, by offering precise measurements for product development
  7. Facilitates regulatory approvals and industry certifications for machinery exports

What kind of businesses can benefit from ISO 230?

ISO 230:2023 certification can significantly strengthen operational efficiency and global reputation. Key business advantages include:

Enhanced customer trust through third-party validation of machine accuracy

Reduction in machine downtime and maintenance costs with proactive performance insights

Compliance with international buyer requirements, enabling market access

Improved product quality and tighter tolerances in production
