Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwidc
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch 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 patt in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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.
International Standard ISO 10342 was prepared by ISO/TC 172, Optics
and Optical instruments, Subcommittee SC 7, Ophthalmic optics and
ins trumen ts.
Annex A forms an integral patt of this International Standard.
