Fibre optic active components and devices - Reliability standards - Part 3: Laser modules used for telecommunication

IEC 62572-3:2014 deals with reliability assessment of laser modules used for telecommunication.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. In addition, guidance is given in IEC TR 62572-2. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This second edition constitutes a technical revision in which multiple errors in references have been corrected. Keywords: reliability assessment of laser modules, telecommunication

L'IEC 62572-3:2014 traite de l'évaluation de la fiabilité des modules laser utilisés pour les télécommunications. La présente norme a pour objet d'établir une méthode normalisée permettant d'évaluer la fiabilité des modules laser afin de minimiser les risques et de favoriser le développement et la fiabilité des produits; d'établir des moyens permettant de déterminer la répartition des défaillances au fil du temps. Il convient que ceci permette de déterminer les taux de défaillance du matériel pour les critères de fin de vie spécifiés. En outre, des lignes directrices sont données dans l'IEC TR 62572-2. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique, dans laquelle de multiples erreurs de références ont été corrigées. Mots clés: l'évaluation de la fiabilité des modules laser,télécommunications

Aktivne komponente in naprave optičnih vlaken - Standardi zanesljivosti - 3. del: Laserski moduli za telekomunikacije (IEC 62572-3:2014)

Standard EN IEC 62572-3 obravnava oceno zanesljivosti laserskih modulov za telekomunikacije. Cilj tega standarda je: – določiti standardno metodo za oceno zanesljivosti laserskih modulov, da se zmanjša tveganje ter spodbuja razvoj in zanesljivost izdelka; – poiskati način, na katerega je mogoče določiti razporeditev napak s časom. To naj bi omogočilo ugotavljanje stopenj napak opreme za opredeljena merila v zvezi z življenjsko dobo. Poleg tega so v standardu IEC/TR 62572-2 podana navodila.

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 promote
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 Guides (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 also 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 possible, 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. While 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 undertake 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 region
