Fibre optic active components and devices - Reliability standards - Part 3: Laser modules used for telecommunication
IEC 62572-3:2016(E) 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 and 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 third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This third edition constitutes a technical revision in which errors in Table 1 and Table 2 have been corrected.
Composants et dispositifs actifs en fibres optiques – Normes de fiabilité – Partie 3: Modules laser utilisés pour les télécommunications
IEC 62572-3:2016 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 réduire le plus possible les risques et de favoriser le développement et la fiabilité des produits et 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 d'un matériel pour les critères de fin de vie spécifiés. En outre, un guide est fourni dans l'IEC TR 62572-2. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2014. Cette troisième édition constitue une révision technique, dans laquelle des erreurs dans le Tableau 1 et dans le Tableau 2 ont été corrigées.

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.
International Standard IEC 62572-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 86C: Fibre optic
systems and active devices of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This third edition
constitutes a technical revision in which errors in Table 1 and Table 2 have been corrected.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
86C/1302/CDV 86C/1345/RVC

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62572 series, published under the general title Fibre optic active
components and devices – Reliability standards, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
INTRODUCTION
The laser modules covered by this International Standard are purchased by system suppliers
(SS) to be inserted in equipment, which in turn are supplied/sold to a system operator (SO) or
a network operator (see definitions in Clause 3).
For the system operator to act as an informed buyer, he/she should have knowledge of the
potential risks posed by the use of critical components.
Optoelectronic component technology is continuing to develop. Consequently, during product
development phases, many failure mechanisms in laser modules have been identified. These
failure mechanisms, if undetected, could result in very short laser lifetime in system use.
