Optical fibre cables - Part 1-219: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Material compatibility test, method F19 (IEC 60794-1-219:2021)

This part of IEC 60794 applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, as well as hybrid telecommunication cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors.
The object of this standard is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the material compatibility performance of cables, cable components, and cable subassemblies.
Compatibility of materials within a cable has the potential to involve a range of material pairs. However, experience has shown that the most pertinent evaluations are of the cable filling and flooding materials interactions with other materials in the cable.
Throughout the standard the wording “optical cable” may also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc.
See IEC 60794-1-2 for general requirements and definitions and reference guide to test methods of all types.

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-219 : Spécification générique - Procédures fondamentales d’essais des câbles optiques - Essai de compatibilité des matériaux, Méthode F19 (IEC 60794-1-219:2021)

IEC 60794-1-219:2021 s’applique aux câbles à fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés avec les équipements de télécommunication et les dispositifs utilisant des techniques analogues, ainsi qu’aux câbles de télécommunication hybrides constitués d’une combinaison de fibres optiques et de conducteurs électriques. L’objet du présent document est de définir les procédures d’essai à utiliser pour fixer des exigences homogènes relatives à la compatibilité des matériaux des câbles, organes de câble et sous-ensembles de câble. La compatibilité des matériaux au sein d’un câble implique potentiellement une gamme de paires de matériaux. Cependant, l’expérience a montré que les évaluations les plus pertinentes portent sur les interactions des matériaux de remplissage et d’enduction avec les autres matériaux du câble. NOTE Tout au long du présent document, l’expression "câble optique" peut également inclure des unités de fibres optiques, des unités de fibres en microconduits, etc. Voir l’IEC 60794-1-2 pour les exigences générales et les définitions, ainsi que le guide de référence de tous les types de méthodes d’essai.

Optični kabli - 1-219. del: Splošna specifikacija - Osnovni preskusni postopki za optične kable - Preskus združljivosti materiala, metoda F19 (IEC 60794-1-219:2021)

Ta del standarda IEC 60794 se uporablja za optične kable za uporabo s telekomunikacijsko opremo in napravami, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike, ter hibridne telekomunikacijske kable s kombinacijo optičnih vlaken in električnih vodnikov.
Cilj tega standarda je opredeliti preskusne postopke, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri določanju enotnih zahtev za združljivost materialov kablov, sestavnih delov kablov in kabelskih podsestavov.
Združljivost materialov v kablu lahko vključuje različne pare materialov. Vendar pa so izkušnje pokazale, da je najpomembnejše vrednotenje medsebojnega vplivanja polnila za kable in materialov za zapolnitev ter drugih materialov v kablu.
V standardu lahko besedna zveza »optični kabel« zajema tudi optične enote, mikrokanale itd.
Za splošne zahteve in opredelitve ter navodila o preskusnih metodah za vse vrste glej standard IEC 60794-1-2.

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.
IEC 60794-1-219 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical
committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an International Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

test procedures – Material compatibility test, method F19



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60794 applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment
and devices employing similar techniques, as well as hybrid telecommunication cables having
a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors.
The object of this document is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform
requirements for the material compatibility performance of cables, cable components, and cable
subassemblies.
Compatibility of materials within a cable has the potential to involve a range of material pairs.
However, experience has shown that the most pertinent evaluations are of the cable filling and
flooding materials' interactions with other materials in the cable.
NOTE Throughout the document the wording “optical cable” can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre
units, etc.
See IEC 60794-1-2 for general requirements and definitions, as well as for a reference guide
to test methods of all types.
