1.1 This standard ( Part 1 ) covers general conditions applicable to all the climatic and mechanical robustness tests and lists all the tests with their severities useful in the environmental assessment of optical instruments.
1.2 The standard does not include testing procedures and also does not indicate the specific tests to be conducted on a particular instrument, the severity to be chosen or the performance to be expected. These may be covered by the different parts of this standard and by the relevant instrument specification prepared particularly for that instrument.
