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 3.
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 part of ISO 10109 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 10109-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and optical
instruments, Subcommittee SC 4, Telescopic systems.
ISO 10109 consists of the following parts, under the general title Optics and optical instruments — Environmental
requirements:
 Part 1: General information, definitions, climatic zones and their parameters
 Part 4: Test requirements for telescopic systems
 Part 6: Test requirements for medical optical devices
 Part 7: Test requirements for optical measuring instruments
 Part 8: Test requirements for extreme conditions of use
 Part 11: Optical instruments for outdoor conditions of use
This corrected version of ISO 10109-4:2001 incorporates corrections in Table 4, Serial No.13, Instrument type 05,

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10109-4:2001(E)
Optics and optical instruments — Environmental requirements —
Part 4:
Test requirements for telescopic systems
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10109 specifies requirements to be met with regard to resistance of the optical, mechanical,
chemical and electrical properties or performance data of instruments to environmental influences and hence
determines geographical and technical areas of application. It applies to optical instruments and instruments with
optical components, including accessories, in the field of telescopic systems.
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 instruments in their respective area of application.
This part of ISO 10109 is the basis for the specification of environmental requirements and environmental 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 requirements to be met by the packaging of the instrument during
transport from the manufacturer to the user.
NOTE Nominal values of properties and performance characteristics as understood by this International Standard are
predetermined by specifications provided by the manufacturer, technical terms of delivery and instrument standards.
2 Normative references
