Jennifer Herron, founder & CEO of Action Engineering, will present “QIF as an ISO standard for the automated Industry” at Metromeet 2021.

Jennifer Herron, DMSC BOD Member, presents QIF 3.0 approved as an ISO standard in 2020, bringing a standard for interoperability of 3D metrology data to the world. On November 9th, 2018, the ISO / TC 184 / SC 4 meeting in Chicago, Illinois (USA), approved by “Unanimous Consent” and was sent to Resolution M – Submission of Quality Information Framework (QIF) for Fast Track Ballot. In July 2020, ISO approved and entirely harvested the ANSI/DMSC QIF v3.0 standard, changing only the cover-sheet, copyright, headers, and footers. The ISO ballot includes an Explanatory report for harvesting QIF 3.0 into the ISO TC184 / SC4 Working Group 15 on Digital Manufacturing. It includes a mapping of entities found between STEP-AP 242 and QIF. The QIF website provides a free download of the schema and normative document. Access the QIF Community for a QIF schema browser, QIF sample instance files, QIF source code bindings, QIF “Issues” list, and getting started video. Finally, you can contact the DMSC with your questions at info@qifstandards.org.
