National foreword

This British Standard is the official English language version of EN ISO 12005:2003. It is identical with ISO 12005:2003. It supersedes BS EN ISO 12005:2000 which is withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee CPW/172, Optics and optical instruments, to Subcommittee CPW/172/9, Electro-optical systems, which has the responsibility to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.
