Optical fibre cables - Part 1-110: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Mechanical tests methods - Kink, Method E10 (IEC 60794-1-110:2025)

IEC 60794-1-110:2025 defines test procedures used to establishing uniform requirements for mechanical performance - kink. It applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. IEC 60794-1-2 gives general requirements, definitions and a complete reference guide to test methods of all types.
This first edition cancels and replaces Method E10 of the first edition of IEC 60794-1-21:2015, which will be withdrawn. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
addition of "4.7";
addition of "Annex A".

IEC 60794-1-110:2025 s’applique aux câbles à fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés dans les équipements de télécommunications et les dispositifs utilisant des techniques analogues, ainsi qu'aux câbles constitués de fibres optiques d'une part et de conducteurs électriques d'autre part. L’objet du présent document est de définir les procédures d’essai à utiliser en vue d’établir des exigences uniformes relatives aux performances mécaniques – pliure (effet de paille). L’IEC 60794-1-2 contient les exigences générales, les définitions et un guide de référence complet de tous les types de méthodes d’essai.
Cette première édition annule et remplace la Méthode E10 de la première édition de l'IEC 60794-1-21:2015, qui est destinée à être supprimée. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout du "4.7";
b) ajout de "Annexe A".

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
