Optics and photonics — Measurement of optical elements and optical systems — Part 4: Interpretation and evaluation of surface form and wavefront deformation tolerances specified in ISO 10110

This document applies to the interpretation of data relating to the measurement of the surface form deviations of optical elements or the wavefront deformations of optical systems. Often the measurement data are generated by using interferometric techniques, but other measurement techniques also generate measurement data to describe the surface form deviations or wavefront deformations.

This document gives definitions of the optical functions and values specified in the preparation of drawings for optical elements and systems, made in accordance with ISO 10110-5 and/or ISO 10110-14 for which the corresponding nomenclature, functions, and values are listed in ISO 10110-5:2026, Annex B.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

The Redline + service - standards comparator allows you to easily and simply identify major changes between the current standard and its last canceled version.

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.


The Redlines + service is offered to you on the collection of French standards in force, in French language and in HTML and PDF format.
