Overview

EN IEC 60793-1-1:2022 - Optical fibres: Part 1-1 - Measurement methods and test procedures - General and guidance is the fifth edition (technical revision) of the baseline guidance for uniform measurement and testing of optical fibres. Published by CLC/CENELEC and aligned with IEC 60793-1-1:2022, it supersedes the 2017 edition and provides the framework and references for the IEC 60793 series of fibre test methods. Its primary aim is to assist inspection and commercial acceptance of fibres and cables (mostly telecommunications).

Key topics

  • Scope and application: Guidance on how to use the measurement and test methods contained in the IEC 60793-1‑X subparts; generally applicable to class A multimode and class B/C single‑mode fibres covered by IEC 60793‑2 product specifications.
  • Measurement and test categories: Dimensions, mechanical characteristics, transmission/optical characteristics, environmental characteristics and polarization‑maintaining fibre tests.
  • Standard conditions and rules: Standard atmospheric measurement/test conditions, rounding rules and reference test methods to ensure repeatability and comparability.
  • Calibration and reference methods: Guidance on calibration practice and selection of reference test methods for traceable results.
  • Packaging and documentation: Requirements for packaging and, in the 2022 edition, expanded documentation requirements (new subclause 10.2).
  • Normative references: Updated list of IEC 60793‑1‑X parts (e.g., 1‑20 fibre geometry, 1‑40 attenuation, 1‑45 mode field diameter, 1‑48 PMD, etc.) and related standards such as IEC 60793‑2 (product specifications).

Note: Significant changes in this 2022 edition include updated normative references and new documentation requirements.

Applications

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 o
