Abstract

International standards writing efforts in optics having been going on for the past 9 years under the auspices of the Geneva based International Standards Organization (ISO). This work is being done by Technical Committee (TC) 172 - Optics and Optical Instruments. Within this TC, Subcommittee (SC) 1 - Fundamental Standards has three Working Groups (WG). WG 3 - Environmental Test Methods, has prepared 18 draft environmental test standards and an introductory section defining the application of these tests to various classes of optical instruments.
