ISO standards in Tooling
Discover the different kind of ISO based designation and how this apply to machining industry, including ISO Machining Application Standardization, ISO Tool Designation System and the Seco Standards for non ISO standardized toolsISO standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization, a non-governmental, independent and international, cover many topics as for instance manufacturing processes, measurement techniques, service delivery, management systems, material properties, product safety and more.
ISO based designation means that the use of terminology follows a certain ISO standard. Examples in machining are standards specifying hard cutting materials classification and their applications (ISO 513) or types of indexable tool inserts (ISO 1832). These types of standards establish a common coded language that allows easy communication throughout the industry. This helps to simplify business processes and to prevent costly operational and manufacturing errors.
There is a wide variety of workpiece materials being machined in the metal cutting industry. Within the ISO system, all these materials are categorized into six different groups named ISO-P, ISO-K, ISO-M, ISO-N, ISO-S and ISO-H. Within each of these workpiece materials, machining applications are further standardized according to type of operation, from finishing to roughing.

ISO 1832:2017 is an international technical standard for indexable inserts and turning toolholders. The standard describes the important features and dimensions of the indexable insert.
- Indexable inserts for all application tools (turning toolholders, insert type milling cutters, insert drills, insert reamers)
- Only turning toolholders are standardized. All others are supplier specific.

Within the ISO tool designation system, only indexable inserts and turning toolholders are fully standardized. For other cutting tools, Seco uses its own specific designation system, which is built fully in line with the ISO philosophy.

ISO 13399 is an international technical standard by ISO for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of industrial product data of cutting tools and holding tools. The objective is to provide a mechanism for describing product data regarding cutting tools, independent from any particular system. The nature of this description makes it suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing product databases and archiving, regarding cutting tools.
Typically, ISO 13399 can be used to exchange data between CAD, CAM, CAE, tool management software, PDM/EDM, MRP or ERP, and other computer-aided systems.
The usage of the ISO 13399 standard will simplify the exchange of data for cutting tools.
