scope:

Refers to the specification of laser components used in the near ultra-violet, visible and near infrared spectral ranges, from 190 nm to 2100 nm and facilitates the supply of spare parts: - by specifying preferred dimensions and tolerances thereby reducing the variety of types; - by standardizing the specifications and removing barriers to trade; - by establishing agreed nomenclature and improving understanding. Includes component descriptions, materials employed, physical dimensions and manufacturing tolerances (including surface finish, figure and parallelism).
