Ophthalmic optics - Chart displays for visual acuity measurements - Printed, projected and electronic (ISO 10938:2016)

This International Standard applies to displays of optotypes generated by chart projectors and all
other visual acuity measurement systems that use recognition of high-contrast optotypes and that
are designed for general use, including optotypes printed on media (either opaque or intended for
transillumination), those generated electronically, and those produced by optical projection.

Augenoptik - Anzeigetafeln für die Sehprüfung - Gedruckt, projiziert und elektronisch (ISO 10938:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm gilt für die Anzeige von Sehzeichen durch gedruckte Medien, durch optische Sehzeichenprojektoren oder durch elektronische Darstellung, die Hochkontrast-Sehzeichen verwendet, und die für den allgemeinen Gebrauch bestimmt sind.

Optique ophtalmique - Affichages d'échelles de mesure d'acuité visuelle - Imprimé, projeté ou électronique (ISO 10938:2016)

ISO 10938:2016 est applicable à l'affichage d'optotypes au moyen de projecteurs de tableaux et de tout autre système de mesurage de l'acuité visuelle qui reposent sur la reconnaissance d'optotypes à fort contraste et qui sont destinés à un usage général, y compris les optotypes imprimés sur des supports (opaques ou destinés à être projetés par transparence), ceux affichés par des moyens électroniques ou par projection optique.

Očesna optika - Prikazovalniki za preskus vida - Tiskani, projicirani in elektronski (ISO 10938:2016)

Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za prikazovalnike optotipov, ustvarjenih s projektorji, ter vse druge sisteme za preskus vida, ki uporabljajo prepoznavanje visoko kontrastnih optotipov in so zasnovani za splošno uporabo, kar vključuje optotipe, tiskane na medijih (neprosojne ali namenjene za trans-osvetlitev) ter ustvarjene elektronsko in z optično projekcijo.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment,
as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 7,
Ophthalmic optics and instruments.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10938:1998), which has been technically
revised.
