If it is horizontal, it is level. I would use something like to check whether it's level. (Not an engineer, carpenter, etc)

Student or Learner
I am writing a small manual and need a short phrase which describes a measuring operation to determine if a surface is flat or not by using a level. For example, can we say horizontal measurement?
Please give me some alternatives.
Thanks!

Now use a spirit level to check the surface is level.

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Thanks for your responses.
I actually need a short one to use as the title of the operation instead of a long sentence.
How about check the levelness of something?
Check it is level.

How about horizontal survey?
Definitely not.
Why is horizontal survey wrong?
GDT: Parallelism vs. Flatness
There are measurements and specifications for "flatness."
