This part of ISO 10109 applies to optical instruments and instruments with optical components in the field of medicine.
It specifies requirements to be met with regard to the resistance of the optical, mechanical, chemical and electrical properties or performance data of instru-ments to environmental influences and hence deter-mines geographical and technical areas of application. Environmental test methods as specified in ISO 9022 are assigned to the various areas of application for the purpose of ascertaining the suitability of the instru-ments in their respective area of application.
This part of ISO 10109 is the basis for the specifica-tion of environmental requirements and environ-mental tests in instrument standards. If necessary, these requirements and tests may be amended in the instrument standards.
This part of ISO 10109 does not deal with the re-quirements to be met by the packaging of the instru-ment during transport from the manufacturer to the user.
