BS EN 50582:2016EN 50582:2016 (E) 4 1 Scope This European standard specifies the details for the point of failure, continuity checking arrangement, test sample, test procedure and test report relevant to optical fibre cables tested as described either in EN 50200 or
18、 in EN 50577. The test determines the survival time for circuit integrity of the optical fibre cables when exposed to fire under the conditions either given in EN 50200 or given in EN 50577. EN 50200 is limited to cables with an overall diameter not exceeding 20 mm. This standard includes (Annex A)
19、the field of direct application and rules for extended application of test results (EXAP). Details regarding P classification using data from the EN 50577 test and PH classification using data from the EN 50200 test are given in EN 13501-3. Information regarding classification is given in Annex B. 2

23、-1-46) EN 60793-2, Optical fibres Part 2: Product specifications General (IEC 60793-2) 3 Circuit integrity (Continuity of signal supply) The criteria that are used for defining fire resistant optical fibre cables are deemed to demonstrate the ability of the cable to maintain a reliable signal transm
24、ission when subjected to fire. Circuit integrity is based upon continuity of optical signal supply. This clause specifies characteristics that shall be used to define the continuity of signal supply / maintenance of circuit integrity (continuity) under fire conditions for optical fibre cables. The c
25、ircuit integrity i.e. continuity of optical signal supply is deemed to be maintained if the maximum increase in attenuation does not exceed the value given in Table 1 during the test duration. Continuity of optical signal supply (see 4.4) can generally be performed by two methods: (A) Monitor indivi
26、dual fibres for attenuation change; (B) Loop-back measurements: this method splices the fibres under test to each other so that they are concatenated in a continuous length. The attenuation change is determined by dividing the attenuation change across all loop-back fibres under test by the number o
27、f loop-backed fibres. BS EN 50582:2016EN 50582:2016 (E) 5 For both method (A) and method (B), the resulting value shall not exceed the value given in Table 1 during the test duration when performed according to EN 50200 or when performed according to EN 50577. Table 1 Maximum allowed attenuation cha

29、0 test method, i.e. the length mounted on the heat resisting wall. For the EN 50577 test method the length to be considered is equal to the exposed length of the cable to the fire in the furnace considering also the exits (cable in the mineral wool). 4 Cable test procedure 4.1 Test equipment When EN
30、 50200 fire test method is used the test equipment consists of: a gas burner, a heat resisting wall, a shock producing device as described in EN 50200. When EN 50577 fire test method is used the test equipment consists of: a furnace with advised minimum internal dimensions 3 m (l) 1,5 m (d) 2,5 m (h
31、), suitable burners, a cable tray with suspensions and horizontal supports, in a “U” or “S” bend configuration as described in EN 50577. In both the EN 50200 and EN 50577 fire test methods, the test equipment further consists of: a fibre optic attenuation measurement system according to EN 60793-1-4
32、6. 4.2 Sample preparation The sample to be tested shall be a length of finished cable (between 20 m and 50 m, or more as required by the optical attenuation measuring system) sufficiently long that the two ends emerge from the test chamber. NOTE This length of the test sample for optical fibre cable
33、s is different from the required length for power and control cables in EN 50200 or in EN 50577. The test samples shall be mounted in accordance with either EN 50200 or EN 50577, taking into account the minimum bending radius of the cable in normal use. The approximate middle of the test sample shal
34、l be positioned in the flame for the EN 50200 test and in the furnace for the EN 50577 test. The fibre or the fibres selected for the optical measurements as reported in Clause 3 shall be connected to the optical measuring apparatus. 4.3 Test procedure The test shall be conducted as described either
35、 in EN 50200 or in EN 50577 together with the additional details for optical fibre cables given in this standard. BS EN 50582:2016EN 50582:2016 (E) 6 The number of fibres to be tested for continuity of optical signal supply shall be two (2) fibres for cables containing up to six (6) fibres; for fibr
36、e counts more than six (6), the number of fibres to be tested shall be six (6). NOTE This prescription applies unless otherwise agreed upon between manufacturer and customer, but will not be the basis of classification. The optical fibres under test shall be selected evenly distributed among the cab
37、le basic optical elements. 4.4 Optical measurements during fire Connect the fibre(s) to an optical apparatus to monitor and/or measure the change in optical transmittance (optical attenuation) in accordance with EN 60793-1-46, method A or B. The test shall be carried out at the nominal wavelength of
38、 operation of the fibre i.e. 1 550 nm for single-mode fibre or 1 300 nm for multimode fibre. 5 Duration of survival The duration of survival is measured in minutes from the start of the test to the point of failure when the increase in attenuation exceeds the values given in Table 1; it shall be rec
39、orded for each cable tested up to a maximum survival time of 120 min. By agreement between supplier of the cable and the test house the test duration may be extended but will not be the basis of classification. 6 Test report (optical fibre cables) The test report shall include the following informat
40、ion: 1) full description of cable tested; 2) manufacturer of cable tested; 3) test laboratory; 4) test wavelength; 5) number of optical fibres under test; 6) optical test equipment or optical devices used; 7) type and disposition of clips supporting cable sample tested to EN 50200 or type of trays a
41、nd plastic ties supporting cable sample tested to EN 50577; 8) the actual cable bending radius used for the test; 9) method used for temperature monitoring during the verification procedure; 10) the duration of survival achieved; 11) method of signal monitoring: (A) individual fibres; (B) concatenat
42、ed fibres; 12) the number of this EN.
