    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    The aim of this standard is:- to establish a standard method of assessing the reliability of laser modules in order to minimize risks and to promote product development and reliability;- to establish means by which the distribution of failures with time can be determined. This should enable the determination of equipment failure rates for specified end of life criteria.
