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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 61300-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1995. It constitutes a

INTRODUCTION
The publications of the IEC 61300 series contain fundamental information on environmental
testing procedures and measurement procedures relating to fibre optic interconnecting
devices and passive components. They are intended to be used to achieve uniformity and
reproducibility in environmental testing procedures and measurement procedures.
The term "test procedure" refers to procedures commonly known as environmental tests. The
expressions "environmental conditioning" and "environmental testing" refer to the
environments to which components or equipment may be exposed so that an assessment may
be made of their performance under the conditions of use, transport and storage.
The term "measurement procedure" refers to those measurements which are necessary
to assess the physical and optical characteristics of a component and may also be used
before, during or after a test procedure to measure the effects of environmental conditioning or
testing. The return loss and attenuation tests are examples of measurement procedures.
The requirements for the performance of components or equipment subjected to the test and
measurement procedures described in this standard are not included. The relevant
specification for the device under test defines the allowed performance limits.
When drafting a specification or purchase contract, only those tests should be specified which
are necessary for the relevant components or equipment taking into account the technical and
economic aspects.
The environmental test procedures are contained in the IEC 61300-2 series and the
measurement procedures in the IEC 61300-3 series. Each test or measurement procedure is
published as a stand-alone publication so that it may be modified, expanded or cancelled
without having an effect on any other test or measurement procedure. However, it should be
noted that, where practical, reference is made to other standards as opposed to repeating all
or part of already existing standards. As an example, the cold test for fibre optic apparatus
refers to IEC 60068-2-1, but it also provides other needed information such as purpose,
recommended severities and a list of items to be specified.
Multiple methods may be contained in a test or measurement procedure. As an example,
several methods of measuring attenuation are contained in the attenuation measurement
procedure.
If more than one method is contained in a test or measurement procedure, the reference
method is identified.

FIBRE OPTIC INTERCONNECTING DEVICES
AND PASSIVE COMPONENTS –
BASIC TEST AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES –
Part 1: General and guidance
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61300 contains a series of environmental test and measurement procedures
and, in some cases, preferred severities designed to assess the ability of fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components to perform under expected service
conditions. Although the severities are primarily intended for land-based communications, the
procedures may be used for other applications.
The object of this standard is to provide uniform and reproducible environmental test
procedures and measurement procedures, for those preparing specifications for fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components.
These test and measurement procedures are based on available international engineering
experience and judgement, and are designed to provide information on the following properties
of components and equipment, such as connectors, splices, switches, attenuators, etc.:
a) ability to operate within specified limits of temperature, pressure, humidity, mechanical
stress or other environmental conditions and certain combinations of these conditions;
b) ability to withstand storage and transport;
c) ability to meet the specified levels of optical performance.
The tests in this standard permit the performance of sample components or equipment to be
compared. To assess the overall quality of a production lot, the test procedures should be
applied in accordance with a suitable sampling plan and may be supplemented by appropriate
additional tests, if necessary.
To provide tests appropriate to the different intensities of an environmental condition, some of
the test procedures have a number of degrees of severity. These different degrees of severity
are obtained by varying the time, temperature or some other determining factor separately or
in combination.
This standard should be used in combination with the relevant specification which will define
the tests to be used, the required degree of severity for each of them, their sequence,
if relevant, and the permissible performance limits. In the event of conflict between this basic
standard and the relevant specification, the latter will take precedence.
