Optical fibre cables - Part 1-216: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Environmental test methods - Compound flow (drip), Method F16
IEC 60794-1-216:2025 defines test procedures to ensure the filling and flooding compounds will not flow from a filled or flooded fibre optic cable, at stated temperatures. NOTE The environmental testing of optical cable would be valuable for some applications. Useful information about suitable test methods can be found in the optical fibre standards IEC 60794-1-2. This document partially cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60794-1-22:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60794-1-22:2017: a) Addition of new Clause 10.

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-216: Spécification générique - Procédures fondamentales d’essais des câbles optiques - Méthodes d’essais d’environnement - Écoulement (égouttement) des matériaux de remplissage, méthode F16
IEC 60794-1-216:2025 définit des procédures d'essais pour s'assurer que les matériaux de remplissage ne s’écoulent pas aux températures spécifiées d’un câble fibronique rempli. NOTE Les essais d’environnement appliqués au câble à fibres optiques sont susceptibles d’être particulièrement utiles dans le cas de certaines applications. Des informations utiles liées aux méthodes d'essais appropriées sont fournies dans la norme relative aux fibres optiques IEC 60794-1-2. Ce document annule et remplace partiellement la deuxième édition de l'IEC 60794-1-22:2017. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’IEC 60794‑1‑22:2017: a) Ajout du nouvel Article 10.

31 FOREWORD
32 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
33 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
34 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
35 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
36 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
37 Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
38 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non -
39 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
40 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
41 agreement between the two organizations.
42 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
43 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
44 interested IEC National Committees.
45 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
46 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
47 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
48 misinterpretation by any end user.
49 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
50 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
51 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
52 the latter.
53 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
54 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
55 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
56 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
57 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
58 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
59 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
60 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
61 Publications.
62 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
63 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
64 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
65 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
66 International Standard IEC 60794-1-216 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and
67 cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
68 This first edition of IEC 60794-1-216 cancels and replaces Method F16 of the first edition of IEC
69 60794-1-22: 2017, which is withdrawn. It includes an editorial revision, based on the new structure
70 and numbering system for optical fibre test methods.
72 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to Method F16 of
73 the first edition of IEC 60794-1-22:2017:
