SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 is the Slovenian adoption of EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026, based on IEC 61753-022-13:2026. It specifies the minimum initial test and measurement requirements for multimode fibre optic connectors terminated as pigtails or patchcords in category OP+, so manufacturers, test laboratories, and buyers can check whether the assemblies meet the performance category for an extended outdoor protected environment with additional heat dissipation.
What does SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 specify?
SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 sets the performance category requirements for multimode fibre optic connectors terminated as pigtails and patchcords. It focuses on initial qualification by test and measurement, with the test severities and pass criteria linked to IEC 61753-1.
The standard is organized into six clauses plus two normative annexes. Clause 4 covers tests, Clause 5 covers the test report, and Clause 6 sets the performance requirements, including dimensions, sample size and test sequencing, endface geometry, visual examination, performance criteria, and test details.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Sample size for each test |
| Annex B | Visual examination of outer cable sheath movement |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026?
SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 is built around passing a defined test sequence using IEC 61300 methods and the acceptance criteria in Table 1 and Table 2. In practice, this means the product is judged as a tested assembly, not just as a connector component.
Test basis and product coverage
The standard uses test and measurement methods from the IEC 61300 series, and it adds the performance criteria from Clause 6.6 and the test details from Clause 6.7. Annex B adds extra requirements for reinforced cable assemblies, so labs need to follow both the main clauses and the annex when that cable construction is used.
The connector plugs under test are terminated onto multimode fibre types A1-OM2, A1-OM3, A1-OM4 or A1-OM5, in primary coated fibre, buffered, or reinforced cable format. The full set of tests is carried out for at least one fibre type, and other fibre types are qualified by similarity. For a buyer or quality team, that means the claimed product range has to be supported by representative testing.
Optical set-up and interface control
All optical tests are carried out at one central wavelength only, at 850 nm, and the source, detector and launch conditions follow the referenced IEC procedures. The practical effect is that test results are tied to a single optical operating point rather than mixed conditions.
Dimensions have to comply with the relevant IEC interface standard in the IEC 61754 series. Endface geometry has to comply with the applicable optical interface standard in the IEC 63267-3 series, and the connector endface also has to meet the visual requirements for defects and scratches from the IEC 63267-2 series. The document says compliance with the appropriate optical interface standard must be confirmed before testing starts and again after all tests are completed.
Sample size and test sequencing
Annex A defines how many samples are used for each test. Clause 6.3 also fixes the test order for the key optical measurements: attenuation is done first, then return loss on the same plugs, and the remaining tests may be run separately on new samples or on samples already used earlier if needed.
If a sample fails after having been subjected to earlier tests, a new set of samples has to be prepared and the failed test repeated. That matters in practice because a late failure cannot be used to justify a pass on the whole sequence.
Performance criteria and mechanical-environmental tests
Table 1 groups the core criteria into attenuation, return loss, active monitoring of changes in attenuation and return loss, transient loss, and visual examination. Table 2 then links each criterion to a specific test method and set-up.
The test list covers:
- fibre or cable retention
- tensile strength of coupling mechanism
- flexing of the strain relief
- connector proof test with static load
- torsion
- mating durability
- bending moment
- vibration
- impact
- cold
- dry heat
- composite temperature/humidity cyclic test
- change of temperature
- dust
- salt mist
For rectangular ferrules, the standard also calls for optical monitoring of the outer fibres and at least one fibre near the centre of each row, where applicable. Annex B adds a visual check for sheath movement on reinforced cable assemblies, with a maximum allowed movement of 1 mm relative to the connector boot fixing point.
Test reporting
Clause 5 requires fully documented test reports and supporting evidence. In practice, this means the qualification file needs enough detail for inspection, not just a summary pass/fail statement.
What terms does SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 define?
- Change in attenuation (δ) - the positive or negative deviation from the original transmitted power value at the start of the test, expressed in dB.
- Pigtail test sample - a sample made of two pigtails mated with an adaptor.
- Patchcord test sample - a sample made of a patchcord mated to two pigtails using adaptors.
- Attenuation - the document treats attenuation as a key transmission metric used for qualification of random mated connectors and for monitoring during mechanical and environmental tests.
- Return loss - the document uses return loss to check how well the mated connector pair reflects light back during the qualification sequence.
Who uses SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026?
Manufacturers of fibre optic interconnecting devices use SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 to qualify multimode connector assemblies as pigtails or patchcords for the OP+ category. Test laboratories use it to set up attenuation, return loss, durability, climatic, dust and salt mist testing in a repeatable way.
Quality managers and buyers use it when they need evidence that a connector assembly has passed the category tests for its intended environment. Certification and conformity assessment bodies use the test report and supporting evidence requirements when checking whether a product claim is backed by documented testing.
Which standards are used with SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026?
- IEC 61753-1 - gives the general performance standard and the category definitions used by this part.
- IEC 61300-1 and the relevant IEC 61300-2 and IEC 61300-3 parts - provide the general guidance, test methods, and measurement procedures used throughout the standard.
- IEC 60793-2-10 - specifies the multimode fibre types used for the connector terminations.
- IEC 60794-2-23 and IEC 60794-2-50 - specify the cable types used for the pigtail and patchcord assemblies.
- IEC 61754 series - gives the connector interface requirements used for dimensional compliance.
- IEC 63267-2 series - provides the visual requirements for endface defects and scratches.
- IEC 63267-3 series - provides the optical interface and endface geometry requirements.
The document also points to IEC 60874-14-1, IEC 60874-19-1, IEC PAS 63267-3-30, and IEC PAS 63267-3-31 as related references for connector types and recommended geometry values.
What does the SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 document contain?
SIST EN IEC 61753-022-13:2026 contains the scope, normative references, terms and definitions, test methods, the test report requirement, and the performance requirements. It also contains Table 1 for performance criteria and Table 2 for test details and requirements.
Annex A gives the sample size for each test, including separate sample sets for pigtail and patchcord assemblies where needed. Annex B gives the preparation and final visual examination procedure for outer cable sheath movement, supported by two example figures showing the marking and final inspection positions.
For a lab or quality team, the most useful parts are the test matrix, the sample-size guidance, and the annex on sheath movement. Those are the sections that turn the category definition into an actual qualification plan.

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
