Announcing Formation of DMSC Standards Committee to Approve the Model-Based Characteristics (MBC) Submission to ANSI
The DMSC (Digital Metrology Standards Consortium) will be submitting an MBC proposal to ANSI as part of the American National Standard (ANS) approval process.
DMSC will be re-forming their Standards Committee (SC) for the purpose of documenting and approving a final MBC 1.0 standard proposal to ANSI.
The Model-Based Characteristics (MBC) standard defines nomenclature, definitions, symbols, data structures, and practices for identifying, communicating, and exchanging model-based characteristics with various optional augmentations through both a logical data model and supporting documentation. MBC 1.0
Specifically, this standard provides a common approach for tagging and uniquely identifying product characteristics that are of interest for the product realization process. Product characteristic tagging is primarily used for identifying a list of characteristics required to verify and accept product.
The DMSC Standards Committee is open to all parties with Model-Based Characteristics interest. There is no charge to join the SC and DMSC membership is not a requirement, however you must specifically request to join. The SC will review/revise the existing DMSC version of MBC, reformat the document to meet ANSI requirements, and vote to accept/reject the final proposed MBC 1.0 document. If approved by the SC, this final document will be submitted to ANSI for approval as an American National Standard.
Approval of the final MBC proposal will be completed by way of an in-person meeting, held on Monday, April 14, 2025, 1pm CT, at the MxD facility in Chicago. This date is calendar adjacent to the upcoming 2025 MBE/QIF Summit that commences the next day at MxD. MBE/QIF Summit. SC members that are not attending the in-person meeting will have the opportunity to vote via email.
MBE/QIF Summit attendees are specifically encouraged to participate in this effort – come to Chicago a day early, Monday afternoon, and be part of the DMSC Standards Committee meeting. Learn more about the upcoming MBE/QIF Summit. 2025 MBE/QIF Summit
