On-site training for standards and specifications



Savvy Optics currently offers five classes in optical standards and specifications. All these classes are offered through SPIE conferences in conjunction with the Optics and Electro-Optics Standards Council (OEOSC) training and outreach program. In addition, Savvy Optics offers the courses for on-site training. We will work with you to customize the courses to suit your training needs, and focus the material on the areas that affect your business most.

Optics Drawings Review and ISO 10110 drawing conversion





The world of optics and photonics is shrinking, and all modern optics companies are converting over to one of the variants of the ISO standard drawing format, ISO 10110. This pictographic format is the most important change to optical drawings standards in the past 30 years. Taking advantage of this new format will remove ambiguity, remove language barriers, and lower costs. But applying this standard badly will cost time and money. Let Savvy help you.


Savvy Optics will review your optics drawings for completeness and accuracy. We will report to you:


  • What standard or standards you are currently using on your drawings

  • How well your drawings comply with those standards

  • What are the key cost driver specifications on your drawings

  • What are the potential supply-related issues you should be on the look-out for

  • How to convert your current MIL or ANSI style drawings to the ISO 10110 format

Scratch and Dig comparison standard certification





Whether you are using old Brysen comparison standards or brand-new Davidson ones for your scratch and dig inspection, you should be getting your sets evaluated periodically to maintain ISO 17025 traceability. Army issued sets can be returned to Picatinny Arsenal annually for re- recertification, but if you are using any of the commercial comparison standards, the Army won't recertify them for you. That's where we come in.
