Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 25178-71 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
ISO 25178 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geometrical product specifications (GPS) —
Surface texture: Areal:
— Part 2: Terms, definitions and surface texture parameters
— Part 3: Specification operators
— Part 6: Classification of methods for measuring surface texture
— Part 70: Physical measurement standards
— Part 71: Software measurement standards

ISO 25178-71:2012(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 25178 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general
GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain link 6 of the chains of standards on surface texture.
The ISO/GPS Masterplan given in ISO/TR 14638 gives an overview of the ISO/GPS system of which this
document is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this document and the
default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this document,
unless otherwise indicated.
For more detailed information of the relation of this standard to the GPS matrix model, see Annex B.
This part of ISO 25178 is concerned with software gauges (Type S1) and reference software (Type S2). It also
defines the SDF file format for type S1 software gauges.
The SURFACE DATA FILE (SDF) format is already used by industry in particular by instrument manufacturers
and academia. The SDF file format as defined in this document is a standardized sub-set of the possibilities
included in the SDF file format as initially defined in the European Surfstand project and EUR15178. It is
envisaged that the SDF file format could evolve (as more experience in its usage and future requirements are
identified) later in a version 2.0 with additional fields and possibilities.

standard Type S1”.

4 Type S software measurement standards
4.1 General
These measurement standards are designed to verify the measuring instrument’s software (i.e. filter algorithms,
parameter calculation, etc.).
The content of a measurement standard shall be considered a scale limited surface (i.e. an S-F surface or an
S-L surface). No part of the content of a measurement standard shall be considered form and thus, no form
removal shall be undertaken on a measurement standard prior to presenting it to the software being tested.
4.2 Type S1, reference data
This type of measurement standard is a computer data file that contains a digital representation of a scale
limited surface in a suitable recording medium.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 25178-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
ISO 25178 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geometrical product specification (GPS) —
Surface texture: Areal:
 Part 1: Areal – Indication of surface texture
 Part 2: Areal – Terms, definitions and surface texture parameters
 Part 3: Areal – Specification operators
 Part 6: Classification of methods for measuring surface texture
 Part 601: Nominal characteristics of contact (stylus) instruments
 Part 602: Nominal characteristics of non- contact (confocal chromatic probe) instruments
 Part 603: Nominal characteristics of non- contact (phase- shifting interferometric) Instruments
 Part 604: Nominal characteristics of non-contact (coherence scanning interferometry) instruments
 Part 7: Software measurement standards
 Part 701: Calibration and measurement standards for contact (stylus) instruments
 Part 702: Calibration and measurement standards for non- contact (confoucal chromatic probe)
instruments
 Part 703: Calibration and measurement standards for non- contact (phase- shifting interferometry)
instruments

Introduction
This part of ISO 25178 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a
general GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain link 6 of the chains of standards on surface
texture.
For more detailed information of the relation of this standard to the GPS matrix model see annex B.
This part of ISO 25178 is concerned with software gauges (Type S1) and reference software (Type S2). It also
defines the SDF file format for type S1 software gauges.
The SURFACE DATA FILE (SDF) format is already used by industry in particular instrument manufacturers
and academia. The SDF file format as defined in this international document is a standardised sub-set of the
possibilities included in the SDF file format as initially defined in the European Surfstand project and
EUR15178. It is envisaged that the SDF file format could evolve (as more experience in its usage and future
requirements are identified) later in a version 2.0 with additional fields and possibilities.

Part 7:
Software measurement standards
1 Scope
This part of ISO 25178 defines Type S1 and Type S2 software measurement standards (etalons) for verifying
the software of measuring instruments. It also defines the file format of Type S1 software measurement
standards for the calibration of instruments for the measurement of surface texture by the areal method as
defined in the areal surface texture chain of standards, chain link 6.
NOTE 1 Throughout this part of ISO 25178, the term “softgauge” is used as a substitute for “software measurement
standard Type S1”.
