IEC 61300-2-10:2021

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 2-10: Tests - Crush and load resistance

IEC 61300-2-10:2021 evaluates the effect of loads which is possible to occur when fibre optic devices are exposed to critical situations such as being stepped on, being run over by vehicle tyres, when an evenly-distributed static load is applied to the top surface of a street cabinet or when a load is applied to a street cabinet's open door. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2012. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- addition of testing an evenly distributed static load applied on the top surface of a street cabinet;
- addition of testing a static load applied to a street cabinet door;
- addition of descriptions to perform the test at a specified temperature other as specified in the standard atmospheric conditions and addition of test temperature(s) in Table 1;
- update of the severities according to IEC 61753-1:2018.

Dispositifs d’interconnexion et composants passifs fibroniques - Procédures fondamentales d’essais et de mesures - Partie 2-10: Essais - Résistance à la compression et à la charge

L'IEC 61300-2-10:2021 évalue les effets des charges susceptibles de se produire lorsque les dispositifs fibroniques sont exposés à des situations critiques telles que le piétinement ou l’écrasement par des pneus de véhicules, lorsqu’une charge statique répartie uniformément est appliquée à la surface supérieure d’une armoire d’environnement urbain ou lorsqu’une charge est appliquée sur la porte ouverte d’une armoire d’environnement urbain. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2012. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- ajout d’un essai avec une charge statique répartie uniformément à la surface supérieure d’une armoire d’environnement urbain;
- ajout d’un essai avec une charge statique appliquée sur la porte d’une armoire d’environnement urbain;
- ajout de descriptions pour effectuer l'essai à une température spécifiée autre que celle spécifiée dans les conditions atmosphériques normales et ajout de la (des) température(s) d'essai dans le Tableau 1;
- mise à jour des sévérités conformément à l’IEC 61753-1:2018.

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 regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation 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 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 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 for 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.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes made to
the previous edition IEC 61300-2-10:2012. A vertical bar appears in the margin wherever a
change has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.
