Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Reliability - Part 9-1: Qualification of passive optical components (IEC 62005-9-1:2015)

This part of IEC 62005 establishes a general reliability qualification program that applies to all
passive fibre optic components except connectors and connector assemblies, the passing of
which, suggests a minimum level of reliability assurance and allows that specific device to be
called qualified to this standard.
The objectives of this International Standard are as follows:
– to specify the requirements for a general reliability qualification standard (RQS) for
passive optical components;
– to give direction to the supplier and to the end user on the production and purchase of
passive optical components to meet and verify reliability qualification standards for certain
specified service environments;
– to give the minimum list of reliability qualification stress tests and conditions;
– to establish guidance for the selection of appropriate measurements and pass/fail criteria;
– to give relevant references; and
– to establish the minimum reporting requirements.
This standard defines a series of stress tests, their severity, sequences, quantities of devices
under the test (DUT), acceptance criteria, and reporting requirements. It also gives guidelines
to selecting appropriate measurements and pass/fail criteria.

- la communication de directives pour le fournisseur et pour l'utilisateur final, relatives à la fabrication et à l'achat de composants optiques passifs satisfaisant aux normes de qualification relatives à la fiabilité et les vérifiant, pour certains environnements de service spécifiés;
- la fourniture de la liste minimale d'essais et de conditions de contraintes de qualification relatives à la fiabilité;
- l'établissement de lignes directrices pour la sélection des mesures appropriées et des critères d'acceptation/rejet;
- la fourniture de références appropriées;
- et l'établissement des exigences minimales concernant les rapports. Cette norme définit une série d'essais de contrainte, leur sévérité, les séquences, le nombre de dispositifs soumis à essai (DUT), les critères d'acceptation et les exigences concernant les rapports. Elle fournit également des lignes directrices pour sélectionner les mesures appropriées ainsi que les critères d'acceptation/rejet.

Part 9-1: Qualification of passive optical components

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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62005-9-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

It is the intent of this standard to be compatible with and work in conjunction with the
performance standards defined in the IEC 61753 series, the test and measurement standards
defined in the IEC 61300 series, and the reliability standards defined in the IEC 62005 series.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62005 series, published under the general title, Fibre optic
interconnecting and passive components – Reliability, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Qualification reliability standards define the conditions for a set of stress tests, the passing of
which suggests an acceptable level of reliability in the referenced performance categories and
operating service environments. Upon passing, the specific product tested is called qualified
to that standard. The results of these tests are attribute data, i.e. pass or fail. True reliability
prediction and quantification requires significantly greater testing.
This International Standard is meant to be a general document that can be applied to all
passive optical components, except connectors. As such, it does not and cannot cover every
possible component and application. Its application to electrically assisted non-active
components such as optical switches is under study. The stress tests are specific and
explicitly defined to establish consistency. The measurements and pass/fail criteria are not
explicitly stated in this standard; however, guidance is given in the relevant clause to
establish reasonable parameters and values. Explicit reporting requirements are defined
which include written justifications and technical support for all selected measurements and
pass/fail criteria.

Part 9-1: Qualification of passive optical components



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62005 establishes a general reliability qualification program that applies to all
passive fibre optic components except connectors and connector assemblies, the passing of
which, suggests a minimum level of reliability assurance and allows that specific device to be
called qualified to this standard.
The objectives of this International Standard are as follows:
– to specify the requirements for a general reliability qualification standard (RQS) for
passive optical components;
– to give direction to the supplier and to the end user on the production and purchase of
passive optical components to meet and verify reliability qualification standards for certain
specified service environments;
– to give the minimum list of reliability qualification stress tests and conditions;
– to establish guidance for the selection of appropriate measurements and pass/fail criteria;
– to give relevant references; and
– to establish the minimum reporting requirements.
This standard defines a series of stress tests, their severity, sequences, quantities of devices
under the test (DUT), acceptance criteria, and reporting requirements. It also gives guidelines
to selecting appropriate measurements and pass/fail criteria.

4.1 DUT
The specific passive optical component to which this standard relates shall be clearly defined.
The DUTs shall be selected randomly from a larger population of samples such that the DUTs
are representative of devices that would be shipped to the customer.
Although it is anticipated that a homogeneous set of the DUTs be used for all tests in a RQS
program, it is recognized that this is not always possible or practical. When this is the case,
generally referred to as a ‘read across’ or a ‘test by similarity’, the specific description of the
products used in each test shall be stated. Justification for every ‘read across’ and ‘test by
similarity’ shall be documented. In addition, the level of manufacturing maturity of each DUT
type shall be defined, for example, the product is in production with all documentation or the
product is in development and was made with significant engineering support.
4.2 Product family
When one model number of a family of products is qualified and qualification is subsequently
claimed for the entire family of products, the DUT shall be the model number with the most
demanding specifications. Only models with equivalent or lesser specifications than the
device tested can be called qualified. The same applies if the test result is extended to
products of lower complexity.
EXAMPLE Qualification of 1 x 8 splitters may be justified by qualification of 1 x 16 splitters if the same technology
is used.
In both cases, a technical argumentation is required to justify the qualification by similarity.
4.3 Service environments
The performance requirements for passive fibre optic components are defined in IEC 61753-1.
The relevant service environments for this standard are as follows:

RELIABILITY –

Part 9-1: Qualification of passive optical components

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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62005-9-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
86B/3896/FDIS 86B/3921/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

It is the intent of this standard to be compatible with and work in conjunction with the
performance standards defined in the IEC 61753 series, the test and measurement standards
defined in the IEC 61300 series, and the reliability standards defined in the IEC 62005 series.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62005 series, published under the general title, Fibre optic
interconnecting and passive components – Reliability, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Qualification reliability standards define the conditions for a set of stress tests, the passing of
which suggests an acceptable level of reliability in the referenced performance categories and
operating service environments. Upon passing, the specific product tested is called qualified
to that standard. The results of these tests are attribute data, i.e. pass or fail. True reliability
prediction and quantification requires significantly greater testing.
This International Standard is meant to be a general document that can be applied to all
passive optical components, except connectors. As such, it does not and cannot cover every
possible component and application. Its application to electrically assisted non-active
components such as optical switches is under study. The stress tests are specific and
explicitly defined to establish consistency. The measurements and pass/fail criteria are not
explicitly stated in this standard; however, guidance is given in the relevant clause to
establish reasonable parameters and values. Explicit reporting requirements are defined
which include written justifications and technical support for all selected measurements and
pass/fail criteria.

Part 9-1: Qualification of passive optical components



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62005 establishes a general reliability qualification program that applies to all
passive fibre optic components except connectors and connector assemblies, the passing of
which, suggests a minimum level of reliability assurance and allows that specific device to be
called qualified to this standard.
The objectives of this International Standard are as follows:
– to specify the requirements for a general reliability qualification standard (RQS) for
passive optical components;
– to give direction to the supplier and to the end user on the production and purchase of
passive optical components to meet and verify reliability qualification standards for certain
specified service environments;
– to give the minimum list of reliability qualification stress tests and conditions;
– to establish guidance for the selection of appropriate measurements and pass/fail criteria;
– to give relevant references; and
– to establish the minimum reporting requirements.
This standard defines a series of stress tests, their severity, sequences, quantities of devices
under the test (DUT), acceptance criteria, and reporting requirements. It also gives guidelines
to selecting appropriate measurements and pass/fail criteria.

4 General requirements
4.1 DUT
The specific passive optical component to which this standard relates shall be clearly defined.
The DUTs shall be selected randomly from a larger population of samples such that the DUTs
are representative of devices that would be shipped to the customer.
Although it is anticipated that a homogeneous set of the DUTs be used for all tests in a RQS
program, it is recognized that this is not always possible or practical. When this is the case,
generally referred to as a ‘read across’ or a ‘test by similarity’, the specific description of the
products used in each test shall be stated. Justification for every ‘read across’ and ‘test by
similarity’ shall be documented. In addition, the level of manufacturing maturity of each DUT
type shall be defined, for example, the product is in production with all documentation or the
product is in development and was made with significant engineering support.
4.2 Product family
When one model number of a family of products is qualified and qualification is subsequently
claimed for the entire family of products, the DUT shall be the model number with the most
demanding specifications. Only models with equivalent or lesser specifications than the
device tested can be called qualified. The same applies if the test result is extended to
products of lower complexity.
EXAMPLE Qualification of 1 x 8 splitters may be justified by qualification of 1 x 16 splitters if the same technology
is used.
In both cases, a technical argumentation is required to justify the qualification by similarity.
4.3 Service environments
The performance requirements for passive fibre optic components are defined in IEC 61753-1.
The relevant service environments for this standard are as follows:

Table 1 – Service environments
Category Environment
C Controlled
U Uncontrolled
O Uncontrolled environment (sequential test)

In general, conducting a test to a more severe condition shall be regarded as having satisfied
the criteria for a less severe condition, thus eliminating the need for redundant testing.
Testing to a service environment of greater severity than that contained in Table 1 is not part
of the current issue of this RQST.
5 Tests
5.1 General
Three types of tests are defined in Annex A, B, C and D. T
