Provides the user of coordinate measuring machines with guidance to implement tests set out in BS 6808:Part 2 and more information about further testing requirements for variable environmental conditions.

This Part of BS 6808 gives recommendations to the user and supplier on the more detailed testing recommended if the environmental conditions give rise to problems.

This standard is not intended for coordinate measuring machines that have working volumes, any dimension of which is significantly greater than the dimension of the mechanical reference artefact, or for those having more than three non-redundant axes.
