23、art 1-2: Generic specification Basic optical cable test procedures General guidance FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to p
24、romote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guid
25、es (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC a
26、lso participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as pos
27、sible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. W
28、hile all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertak
29、e to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attesta
30、tion of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of
31、this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or
32、indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable fo
33、r the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60794-1-2 has bee
34、n prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2013 and IEC 60794-1-20 published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following signif
35、icant technical changes with respect to the previous edition and to IEC 60794-1-20: a) the multiple cross-reference tables have been deleted and replaced with a higher level one related to the generic standards; b) all pertinent text from IEC 60794-1-20 has been included; c) standard optical test wa
36、velengths have been introduced; d) this document has been streamlined by cross-referencing IEC 60794-1-1; BS EN 60794-1-2:2017 4 IEC 60794-1-2:2017 IEC 2017 e) the “No change in attenuation“ definitions contained in IEC 60794-1-20 have been transferred to IEC 60794-1-1; f) the title has been modifie
37、d to reflect the contents of the new edition. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60794-1-1:2015. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 86A/1767/FDIS 86A/1775/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this stan
38、dard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts in the IEC 60794 series, published under the general title Optical fibre cables, can be found on the IEC website. The commi
39、ttee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised editi
40、on, or amended. BS EN 60794-1-2:2017IEC 60794-1-2:2017 IEC 2017 5 INTRODUCTION IEC 60794-1-2:2013 comprised a detailed cross-reference table to the new document set, and general guidance was given in IEC 60794-1-20. These two specifications have been combined in this document, which allows for IEC 6
41、0794-1-20 to be withdrawn. BS EN 60794-1-2:2017 6 IEC 60794-1-2:2017 IEC 2017 OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES Part 1-2: Generic specification Basic optical cable test procedures General guidance 1 Scope This part of IEC 60794-1 applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunications equipment and devic
42、es employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. The prime objective of this document is to provide the end user with an overview about the content of different parts of the IEC 60794-1 series numbered -2X. Table 1 shows the differ
43、ent parts. Table 1 Document overview Test methods IEC reference General guidance IEC 60794-1-2 Methods E Mechanical IEC 60794-1-21 Methods F Environmental IEC 60794-1-22 Methods G Cable elements IEC 60794-1-23 Methods H Electrical IEC 60794-1-24 NOTE Several numbers in the test method numbering sequ
44、ence are missing. The reasons for these omissions are historical. To avoid confusion, the existing numbering sequence has been retained. These documents define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the geometrical, transmission, material, mechanical, ageing (environment
45、al exposure) and climatic properties of optical fibre cables, and electrical requirements where appropriate. Throughout the documents, the wording “optical cable“ can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc. The secondary objective of this document is to provide the end user wit
46、h useful guidance when testing optical fibre cables. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.
