Abstract: For a compact convex subset $K$ of a locally convex Hausdorff space, a measurement on $A(K)$ is a finite family of positive elements in $A(K)$ normalized to the unit constant $1_K$, where $A(K)$ denotes the set of continuous real affine functionals on $K$. It is proved that a compact convex set $K$ is a Choquet simplex if and only if any pair of $2$-outcome measurements are compatible, i.e. the measurements are given as the marginals of a single measurement. This generalizes the finite-dimensional result of [Pl'avala M 2016 Phys. Rev. A extbf{94}, 042108] obtained in the context of the foundations of quantum theory.
