01/12/20021. Introduction
At the end of 1999, the Sub-Committee 2 "Dimensional Metrology", of the Technical Committee of standardization 82 walked slowly, without to cope with the extraordinary movement which had their referents, inside of the ISO/TC 213 Geometrical Product Specification and Verification and CEN/TC 290.
This communication presents the phases that has become the Subcommittee in his career the past four years. Their achievements and progress. Its objectives and strategies. In short, a sketch of the history of the Dimensional Metrology in Spain from the point of view of standardization.
2. Previous history
On the basis of which until now had been in Spain in the field of Dimensional Metrology, became aware of the need of openness towards Europe. And it is then when it begins to participate in ISO/TC 213, revived only 3 years before. The flow of innovation from ISO had come to Spain also.
3 Achievements and progress
After a period of lethargy, it was necessary to resume activity in standardization. On the one hand were the old standards and calibration procedures. Thus, while the old MINER in collaboration with the Centre

Spanish metrology updated procedures for IBS, Subcommittee 2 of AENOR on Dimensional Metrology was echoed international concerns. We should highlight that many of the participating experts members collaborate in both projects.
The chart below shows an outline of the work carried out since the beginning of 1999.
4 Strategy
While new information technologies are already a common tool in many companies, was not the same with the operation of the Subcommittee. The first strategy was to update the form of communication between the members, renew procedures, even creating new, but always with reference to the International Committee.
Thus the organizational structure, the distribution of tasks according to the areas of interest of each participant was formed and created the Web page support for the exchange of information. In short, be optimized communication.
5. Conclusions.
However much remained to be done, and some of the challenges for the future are: the national dissemination of new philosophy GPS in the normalization of the Dimensional Metrology, international collaboration with Spanish-speaking countries, with the Spanish rules update and expansion of the Sub-Committee to a larger number of experts.
