IEC 60793-1-1:2017

IEC 60793-1-1:2008 lists and gives guidance on the use of documents giving the uniform requirements for measuring and testing optical fibres, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial (mostly telecommunications) purposes. The individual measurement and test methods are contained in the different parts of the IEC 60793 series. They are identified as IEC 60793-1-X, where "X" is an assigned sub-part number, indicating its affiliation to IEC 60793-1. In general, measurements and tests methods apply to all class A multimode fibres and Class B single-mode optical fibres covered by the IEC 60793-2 series, although there may be exceptions. Clause 1 of each part of IEC 60793 contains the scope for each particular attribute. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002. The main changes with regard to the previous edition concern: - re-wording of Clause 8: Categories of optical fibres; - removal of Clause 10: Cross-reference of former test designations to current documents removal of the bibliography. Keywords: guidance on the use of documents giving the uniform requirements for measuring and testing optical fibres

IEC 60793-1-1:2022 lists and gives guidance on the use of documents giving uniform requirements for measuring and testing optical fibres, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial (mostly telecommunications) purposes. The individual measurement and test methods are contained in the different parts of the IEC 60793 series. They are identified as IEC 60793-1-X, where "X" is an assigned sub-part number, indicating its affiliation to the IEC 60793-1 series. In general, measurements and tests methods apply to all class A multimode fibres and class B and class C single-mode optical fibres covered by the IEC 60793-2 series relating to product specifications, although there can be exceptions. Clause 1 of each part of the IEC 60793 series contains the scope for each particular attribute. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - changes in normative references; - renamed Clause 10 and added documentation-related requirements in a new subclause 10.2.
