This part of ISO 6507 specifies a method of verification of testing machines for determining Vickers hardness
in accordance with ISO 6507-1.
It specifies a direct verification method for checking the main functions of the machine operation, and an
indirect method suitable for the overall checking of the machine. The indirect method may be used on its own
for periodic routine checking of the machine in service.
If a testing machine is also to be used for other methods of hardness testing, it shall be verified independently
for each method.
This part of ISO 6507 is also applicable to portable hardness testing machines.
