NEW!IEC 61753-1:2018 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61753-1:2018 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 61753-1:2018 fournit des recommandations pour la rédaction de normes de qualité de fonctionnement applicables à tous les produits passifs fibroniques. Le présent document définit les essais et les sévérités qui constituent les catégories de qualité de fonctionnement ou les environnements de service ou de fonctionnement général et elle identifie les essais qui sont considérés comme spécifiques à un produit. Les informations détaillées concernant les essais et les sévérités sont données à l’Annexe A. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2007. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
a) définitions mises à jour avec de nouveaux produits: prises murales, coffrets à montage mural ou sur poteau, épissures, modules ODF, armoires d’environnement urbain, connecteurs renforcés et connexions montables sur le terrain;
b) les catégories U et O ont été remplacées par les catégories OP et OP+. Pas de séquence obligatoire dans la catégorie OP+. La catégorie OP+ contient les essais de la catégorie OP avec l’ajout de seulement 4 autres essais;
c) ajout de la catégorie I (industriel);
d) ajout des plages de température (avec le suffixe HD aux catégories C, OP, OP+ et I) au cas où des composants optiques passifs sont placés dans un boîtier avec des composants électroniques actifs (HD signifie Heat Dissipation, dissipation thermique);
e) la hauteur de la catégorie A a été modifiée de 3 m au niveau du sol (0 m);
f) la hauteur du niveau inférieur de l’environnement de catégorie G a été modifiée du niveau du sol (0 m) à –1 m en dessous du niveau du sol. Le niveau supérieur reste à 3 m au-dessus du niveau du sol;
g) ajout d’essais de performance, de sévérités d’essai et de critères de qualité de fonctionnement pour de nouveaux produits: prises murales, coffrets à montage mural ou sur poteau, épissures mécaniques, protecteurs d’épissures par fusion, modules ODF, armoires d’environnement urbain, connexions montables sur le terrain et connecteurs optiques renforcés;
h) la sévérité de l’essai «Durabilité de l’accouplement» pour les connecteurs des catégories C, OP, OP+ et I a été ramenée à 200 cycles pour les connecteurs avec férules cylindriques et à 50 cycles pour les connecteurs avec férules rectangulaires;
i) la sévérité de l’essai «Variations de température» pour les connecteurs et les composants optiques passifs de la catégorie I a été ramenée de 20 cycles à 12 cycles (harmonisée avec les connecteurs et les composants d’autres catégories);
j) la sévérité de l’essai «Flexion du serre-câble» pour les connecteurs des catégories C, OP et OP+ a été ramenée à 50 cycles;
k) les sévérités de l’essai «Montage et démontage des épissures mécaniques fibroniques, des systèmes de gestion des fibres et des boîtiers» pour tous les boîtiers ont été ramenées à 5 cycles;
l) les sévérités de l’essai «Variations de température» pour tous les boîtiers de protection des catégories C, A, G et S ont été ramenées de 20 cycles à 12 cycles (harmonisées avec les connecteurs et les composants);

Part 1: General and guidance
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 61753-1 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 2007. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) definitions updated with new products: wall outlets, wall or pole mounted boxes, splices,
ODF modules, street cabinets, hardened connectors and field mountable connectors;
b) categories U and O are replaced by categories OP and OP+. No mandatory sequence in
category OP+. Category OP+ contains the tests from category OP with the addition of only
4 other tests;
c) addition of Category I (Industrial);
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

d) temperature ranges added (with the HD suffix to the categories C, OP, OP+ and I) in case
passive optical components are placed in a housing together with active electronics (HD
stands for “heat dissipation”);
e) the height of category A changed from 3 m to ground level (0 m);
f) the lower level height of category G environment changed from ground level (0 m) to –1 m
below ground level. Upper level remains at 3 m above ground level;
g) addition of performance tests, test severities and performance criteria for new products:
Wall outlet, wall or pole mounted boxes, mechanical splices, fusion splice protectors, ODF
modules, street cabinets, field mountable connectors and hardened optical connectors;
h) test severity of "Mating durability" test for connectors in categories C, OP ,OP+ and I is
reduced to 200 cycles for connectors with cylindrical ferrules and 50 cycles for connectors
with rectangular ferrules;
i) test severity of "Change of temperature" test for connectors and passive optical
components in category I is reduced from 20 cycles to 12 cycles (harmonized with
connectors and components from other categories);
j) test severity of "Flexing of strain relief" test for connectors in categories C, OP and OP+ is
reduced to 50 cycles;
k) test severities of "Assembly and disassembly of fibre optic mechanical splices, fibre
management systems and closures" test for all enclosures is reduced to 5 cycles;
l) test severities of "Change of temperature" test for all protective housings in categories C,
A, G and S is reduced from 20 cycles to 12 cycles (harmonized with connectors and
components);
m) test severities of "Resistance to solvents and contaminating fluids" test for closures in
categories G and S changed – kerosene is removed, diesel oil exposure reduced to 1 h
immersion and 24 h drying at room temperature;
n) sealing performance criteria of sealed closures for categories G and A are reduced to
20 kPa overpressure.
o) the change in attenuation criterion for connectors has changed from peak-to-peak into a
+/- deviation from the original value of the transmitted power at the start of the test
(harmonized with the change in attenuation criterion for components, splices and
protective housings).
