ISO 10109:2014

Optics and photonics — Guidance for the selection of environmental tests

Scope

ISO 10109:2014 contains tables for environmental tests and test parameters which can be used as a guideline for the selection of environmental tests. They include the selection of standardized tests according to ISO 9022 as well as additional parameters not described in ISO 9022 and individual parameters necessary for the optical or photonic instruments. Ultimately, these tables specify the requirements to be met with regard to the reliability of the optical, mechanical, chemical and electrical properties or performance characteristics of the instruments when exposed to environmental influences.
Environmental test methods, as specified in ISO 9022 (all parts), can be assigned to the various areas of application for the purpose of ascertaining the suitability of the instruments in the respective area of application.
