ISO 9022-9:2016 specifies the methods relating to the environmental tests of optical instruments including additional assemblies from other fields (e.g. mechanical, chemical and electronic devices), under equivalent conditions, for their ability to resist the effects of simulated solar radiation or laboratory weathering, which is a combination of simulated solar radiation, heat, and moisture. It is applicable to instruments that may be exposed to sunlight during operation or unsheltered storage on the earth's surface, or in the lower atmosphere. The purpose of testing is to investigate to what extent the optical, climatic, mechanical, chemical and electrical (including electrostatic) performance characteristics of the specimen are affected by solar radiation or weathering (solar radiation, heat, and moisture).

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

Introduction
Optical instruments are affected during their use by a number of different environmental parameters
which they are required to resist without significant reduction in performance and to remain within
defined specifications.
The type and severity of these parameters depend on the conditions of use of the instrument (for
example, in a laboratory or workshop) and on its geographical location. The environmental effects on
optical instrument performance in the tropics and subtropics are totally different from those found
when they are used in arctic regions. Individual parameters cause a variety of different and overlapping
effects on instrument performance.
The manufacturer attempts to ensure, and the user naturally expects, that instruments will resist the
likely rigours of their environment throughout their life. This expectation can be assessed by exposure
of the instrument to a range of simulated environmental parameters under controlled laboratory
conditions. The severity of these conditions is often increased to obtain meaningful results in a
relatively short period of time.
In order to allow assessment and comparison of the response of optical instruments to appropriate
environmental conditions, ISO 9022 contains details of a number of laboratory tests which reliably
simulate a variety of different environments. The tests are based largely on IEC standards, modified
where necessary to take into account features special to optical instruments.
As a result of continuous progress in all fields, optical instruments are no longer only precision-
engineered optical products, but, depending on their range of application, also contain additional
assemblies from other fields. For this reason, the principal function of the instrument is to be assessed to
determine which International Standard should be used for testing. If the optical function is of primary
importance, then ISO 9022 is applicable; but if other functions take precedence, then the appropriate
International Standard in the field concerned should be applied. Cases may arise where application of
both ISO 9022 and other appropriate International Standards will be necessary.

Optics and photonics — Environmental test methods —
Part 9:
Solar radiation and weathering
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9022 specifies the methods relating to the environmental tests of optical instruments
including additional assemblies from other fields (e.g. mechanical, chemical and electronic devices),
under equivalent conditions, for their ability to resist the effects of simulated solar radiation or
laboratory weathering, which is a combination of simulated solar radiation, heat, and moisture. It is
applicable to instruments that may be exposed to sunlight during operation or unsheltered storage on
the earth’s surface, or in the lower atmosphere.
The purpose of testing is to investigate to what extent the optical, climatic, mechanical, chemical and
electrical (including electrostatic) performance characteristics of the specimen are affected by solar
radiation or weathering (solar radiation, heat, and moisture).
