SC07 – Optical Testing Standards You Can’t Afford to Ignore

Summary

Standards foster communication with customers and build confidence in your products. Step up and beat your competition with demonstrated and expert-maintained test methods!

Many are familiar with ISO standards for Quality Management (ISO 9000) and Drawing Formats (ISO 10110). Did you know that there are over 100 ISO documents that outline specific methods to measure optical characteristics and performance? These standards address materials, coatings, laser beams, image quality, environment, and more. However, knowing what’s out there and finding the standard you need can be challenging.

Funded by AmeriCOM and presented by OEOSC experts, this interactive course will allow you to identify tests that you need for success. The full list of standard numbers and titles is provided for your use, and select tests are discussed in detail. Alternatives for MIL Standards are highlighted.
