Optical fibre cables - Part 1-124: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Mechanical tests methods - Installation test for microduct cabling, Method E24 (IEC 60794-1-124:2025)
IEC 60794-1-124:2025 contains test procedures, referred to as Method E24, for evaluating the behaviour of microduct cabling (microduct optical cable, fibre unit or hybrid cable etc.) when blown into a microduct or protected microduct. This document describes two blowing track layouts: Method A consists of two mandrels and two long straight sections in between (same curvature). Method B consists of 3 mandrels. The middle mandrel forces the cable to experience both left- and right-hand bending, which is a feature of any realistic blowing route. In addition, this document describes an optional procedure to check the capability of blowing out an installed cable. This first edition cancels and replaces Method E24 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015 and Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of a blowing route (see Figure 2) which includes a change in the direction of curvature. This was achieved by introducing a third mandrel;
b) addition of Annex A (Figure A.1 which shows a practical implementation of the blowing route;
c) addition of Annex B which describes the so-called Crash Test;
d) addition of Annex C which describes a cable blowing out procedure.

IEC 60794-1-124: 2025 donne les procédures d’essai, appelées Méthode E24, permettant d’évaluer le comportement d’un câblage en microconduits (câble optique en microconduits, unité de fibres, câble hybride, etc.) lors d’un soufflage appliqué dans un microconduit ou un microconduit protégé. Le présent document décrit deux dispositions de chemin de soufflage: La Méthode A se base sur deux mandrins, avec entre ceux-ci deux longues sections droites (de même courbure). La Méthode B se base sur 3 mandrins. Le mandrin central exerce une contrainte sur le câble pour définir à la fois des courbures vers la gauche et des courbures vers la droite, ce qui est caractéristique d’un chemin de soufflage réaliste. En outre, le présent document décrit une procédure facultative pour vérifier la capacité à extraire par soufflage un câble installé. Cette première édition annule et remplace la méthode E24 de la première édition de l’IEC 60794‑1‑21 parue en 2015 et son Amendement 1:2020. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout d'un chemin de soufflage (voir la Figure 2), qui introduit un changement de direction dans la courbure. Cela a été possible en utilisant un troisième mandrin;
b) ajout de l'Annexe A (Figure A.1, qui présente une mise en œuvre pratique du chemin de soufflage);
c) ajout de l'Annexe B, qui décrit l'essai intitulé "essai de collision";
d) ajout de l'Annexe C, qui décrit une procédure d’extraction par soufflage d'un câble.

45 FOREWORD
46 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
47 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
48 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
49 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
50 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
51 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
52 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
53 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
54 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
55 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
56 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
57 interested IEC National Committees.
58 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
59 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
60 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
61 misinterpretation by any end user.
62 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
63 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
64 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
65 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
66 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
67 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
68 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
69 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
70 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
71 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
72 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
73 Publications.
74 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
75 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
76 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
77 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
78 IEC 60794-1-124 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables: of IEC technical
79 committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an International Standard,.

106 INTRODUCTION
107 The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed
108 that compliance with this document may involve the use of a patent. IEC takes no position
109 concerning the evidence, validity, and scope of this patent right.
110 The holder of this patent right has assured IEC that s/he is willing to negotiate licences under
111 reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world.
112 In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with IEC. Information
113 may be obtained from the patent database available at patents.iec.ch/.
114 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
115 subject of patent rights other than those in the patent database. IEC shall not be held
116 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
117 The national working committee DKE/UK 412.6 "Optical fibres and optical fiber cables" of the
118 DKE German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (www.dke.de)
119 is responsible for this document.
120 This document was prepared in cooperation with DKE/UK 412.6 "Optical fibr es and optical fibre
121 cables" and DKE/GAK 412.6.6 "FTTX".
122 A VDE “application rule” was published in Germany [1].
123 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some elements of this document may affect patent
124 rights. VDE is not responsible for identifying some or all the patent rights involved.
125 Two different blowing routes are presented in that document which can be used to
126 characterize the blowing performance of microduct cables. The first track (figure 1, Method
127 A) is identical with the track which has been used in the standard IEC 60794 -21 method E24
128 since many years. Even though the track seems to be very simple to build, it was not used by
129 many facilities because of its long length. 100 m length requires lot of space which often is not
130 available in the facilities. It also se
