Optical fibre cables - Part 1-303: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Cable element test methods - Ribbon dimensions - Aperture gauge, Method G3 (IEC 60794-1-303:2023)

IEC 60794-1-303: 2023 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the geometrical properties of optical fibre ribbons. This document applies to optical fibre ribbons for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to optical fibre ribbons for cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. This document partially cancels and replaces IEC 60794-1-23:2019. In the context of the revision of IEC 60794-1-23:2019, its contents were split into separate test methods.

IEC 60794-1-303: 2023 décrit les procédures d’essai à utiliser afin d'établir des exigences uniformes applicables aux propriétés géométriques des rubans de fibres optiques. Le présent document s’applique aux rubans de fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés dans les équipements de télécommunications et les dispositifs qui utilisent des techniques similaires, ainsi qu'aux rubans de fibres optiques pour les câbles qui combinent à la fois des fibres optiques et des conducteurs électriques. Ce document annule et remplace en partie l'IEC 60794-1-23:2019. La révision de l'IEC 60794­1-23:2019 a donné lieu à un éclatement de son contenu en méthodes d’essai distinctes.

Standard IEC 60794-1-303: 2023 opisuje preskusne postopke, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri določanju enotnih zahtev za geometrijske lastnosti trakov iz optičnih vlaken. Ta dokument se uporablja za trakove iz optičnih vlaken za uporabo s telekomunikacijsko opremo in napravami, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike, ter trakove iz optičnih vlaken v kablih s kombinacijo optičnih vlaken in električnih vodnikov. Dokument delno razveljavlja in nadomešča standard IEC 60794-1-23:2019. V okviru spremembe standarda IEC 60794-1-23:2019 je bila njegova vsebina razdeljena na ločene preskusne metode.

30 FOREWORD
31 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
32 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
33 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
34 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
35 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
36 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
37 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
38 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
39 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
40 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
41 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
42 interested IEC National Committees.
43 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
44 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
45 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
46 misinterpretation by any end user.
47 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
48 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
49 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
50 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
