There are three ma
11、in changes from the previous edition. First, this British Standard takes into account the international proposal to standardize the derivation of constringence. Secondly, the method for conditioning glass specimens before determination of their refractive properties has changed slightly. Thirdly, th
12、e scope has been expanded to cover a greater variety of ophthalmic materials. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself con
13、fer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to8, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in

15、requirements for three categories of white or tinted materials used for the manufacture of ophthalmic spectacle lenses. This standard does not specify requirements for contact lens materials.
