Full title and description

Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 219: Application protocol: Dimensional inspection information exchange. This part of ISO 10303 (STEP) defines the entities and relationships required to accommodate, preserve and exchange dimensional inspection results together with associated product data.

Abstract

ISO 10303-219:2007 establishes data models and relationships to record, transfer and archive dimensional inspection information (measurement plans, measurement results, associated tolerances and references to product definition) so that inspection data can be exchanged between CAD/CAM/CAQ systems, metrology equipment and quality repositories.

Scope

Defines an Application Protocol (AP 219) within the ISO 10303 (STEP) framework for the exchange of dimensional inspection information: measurement definitions and plans, captured measurement results, associations to product geometry and tolerancing, metadata for inspection activities, and structures needed to preserve inspection records for downstream use (reporting, quality control, archiving and traceability).

Key topics and requirements

• Data models for measurement plans, probes and inspection sequences.
• Representation of measurement results, measured features and numeric values with uncertainty and tolerancing context.
• Links between inspection results and product definition (geometry, feature identifiers, GD&T references).
• Use of STEP/EXPRESS schemas and conformance classes for interoperable data exchange.
• Requirements for preservation, traceability and archival of inspection records.

Typical use and users

Used by OEMs, suppliers, metrology laboratories, quality engineers, CAx software vendors and systems integrators to exchange inspection plans and results between CAD/CAM/PLM systems and metrology devices (CMMs, optical scanners, inline inspection systems) and to archive inspection records in quality and compliance workflows.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 10303 (STEP) family. Related and adjacent documents include other APs for product definition and model-based data exchange (for example AP203/AP214 historically and AP242 as the modern managed-model AP), supporting integrated resources, application modules and recommended practices for STEP-based exchanges. The AP219 entry and STEP resources are maintained under ISO/TC 184/SC 4. SMRL (STEP Module and Resource Library) and AP242 efforts are commonly referenced for harmonization and modular reuse.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10303-219:2007 (AP219) is an application protocol in the ISO 10303 (STEP) family that specifies data models and exchange rules for dimensional inspection information—measurement plans, measurement results and related product data.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers representation and exchange of inspection definitions and results, relationships to product geometry and tolerancing, and requirements to preserve inspection data for reporting, traceability and archival within product lifecycle systems.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Quality engineers, inspection and metrology labs, OEMs and suppliers, CAx and PLM vendors, systems integrators and anyone needing interoperable transfer of inspection data between design and measurement systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10303-219:2007 remains the published edition and, according to ISO lifecycle records, was last reviewed and confirmed (keeps the edition current) in 2024. Users should check ISO or their national standards body for any newer revisions or related technical specifications before implementation.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — AP219 is one part of the broader ISO 10303 (STEP) series of standards for product data representation and exchange; it works alongside other APs and resources (for example AP203, AP214 historically, and AP242) and with the STEP Module and Resource Library (SMRL) for reusable modules.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Dimensional inspection, measurement results, inspection plan, STEP, AP219, ISO 10303, metrology, GD&T, EXPRESS schema, data exchange.
