Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14135-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 4,
Telescopic systems.
ISO 14135 consists of the following parts, under the general title Optics and optical instruments —
Specifications for telescopic sights:
 Part 1: General-purpose instruments
 Part 2: High-performance instruments

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 14135 the terms and definitions given in ISO 14132-1 and ISO 14132-3
apply.
4 Classification
Due to different requirements, telescopic sights shall be classified according to their end use thus:
 telescopic sights for airguns;
 telescopic sights for pistols (e.g. handgun scopes);
 telescopic sights for rifles (e.g. hunting telescopic sights).
5 Interfaces
Telescopic sights shall have interfaces to mounting systems for interconnection with firearms.
The interface areas shall be the central tube and – if of different size – the objective tube.
The interface areas shall be cylindrical in shape. Alternatively, the central tube may have a dovetail at the
