IEC 61753-101-03:2021

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components performance standard - Part 101-03: Fibre management systems for category OP - Outdoor protected environment

IEC 61753-101-03:2021 contains the minimum tests, test severities and measurement requirements which a fibre management system need to meet in order to be categorised as meeting the IEC standard, category OP – Outdoor Protected environment, as defined in IEC 61753-1. This performance standard for fibre management systems defines the requirements for standard optical performance under a set of specified conditions. It contains a series or a set of tests and measurements with clearly stated conditions, severities and pass/fail criteria. The series of tests, commonly referred to as an operating service environment or performance category, is intended to be a basis to prove the product’s ability to satisfy the requirements of a specific application, market sector or user group.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 61753-101-3 the first edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61753-101-3 the previous edition:
a) the terms and definitions have been updated according to IEC 61753-1:2018 and IEC 61756-1:2019;
b) the test severities have been updated according to IEC 61753-1:2018;
c) detailed material tests for mould growth (IEC 60068-2-10) and UV light exposure (ISO 4892-3) have been added;
d) the detailed transport performance requirements have been removed;
e) IEC 60793-2-50 subcategory B-657 fibres for test samples in Annex A has been added.

Norme de performance pour les dispositifs d’interconnexion et composants passifs fibroniques - Partie 101-03: Systèmes de gestion de fibres pour la catégorie OP - Environnement extérieur protégé

IEC 61753-101-03:2021 contient les essais minimaux, ainsi que les sévérités d’essai et les exigences de mesure minimales auxquels il est nécessaire qu’un système de gestion de fibres satisfasse afin de pouvoir être classé comme satisfaisant à la norme IEC, Catégorie OP – Environnement extérieur protégé, telle qu’elle est définie dans l’IEC 61753-1. La présente norme de qualité de fonctionnement pour les systèmes de gestion de fibres définit les exigences de qualité de fonctionnement optique normalisée selon un ensemble de conditions spécifiées. Elle contient une série ou un ensemble d'essais et de mesurages avec des conditions, des sévérités et des critères d’acceptation/de rejet clairement définis. Les séries d'essais, auxquelles il est généralement fait référence en tant qu'environnement de service de fonctionnement ou en tant que catégorie de qualité de fonctionnement, sont destinées à constituer une base de démonstration de l'aptitude du produit à satisfaire aux exigences d'une application, d'un secteur de marché ou d'un groupe d'utilisateurs spécifiques.
Cette première édition annule et remplace l’IEC 61753-101-3, la première édition parue en 2006. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) les termes et définitions ont été mis à jour conformément à l’IEC 61753-1:2018 et à l’IEC 61756‑1:2019;
b) les sévérités d’essai ont été mis à jour conformément à l’IEC 61753-1:2018;
c) des essais matériels détaillés pour les moisissures (IEC 60068-2-10) et l'exposition à la lumière UV (ISO 4892-3) ont été ajoutés;
d) des exigences détaillées de qualité de fonctionnement du transport ont été supprimées;
e) des fibres de sous-catégorie B-657 (IEC 60793-2-50) pour les échantillons d’essai (Annexe A)ont été ajoutées.

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.
