Overview

EN IEC 60794-1-310:2022 specifies standardized test procedures for assessing the strippability of optical fibre cable elements. Published by CLC/CENELEC and identical to IEC 60794-1-310:2022, this part of the IEC 60794 series defines uniform methods to determine mechanical stripping behaviour for cable elements used in telecommunication equipment and mixed optical/electrical cables. The document reorganizes test methods formerly in IEC 60794-1-23 into discrete 1-3xx parts and treats each method as an individual standard.

Key topics

• Scope and applicability
  • Applies to optical cables, optical fibre units and microduct fibre units, and cables combining optical fibres with electrical conductors.
  • Focused specifically on the mechanical property of strippability for cable elements.
• Test methods included
  • Method G10A - Stripping force stability of cabled optical fibres (sample prep, apparatus, procedure, requirements).
  • Method G10B - Strippability of optical fibre ribbons (includes stripping tools, motor/slide options, positioning, and use of alcohol wipe).
  • Method G10C - Strippability of buffered optical fibres (now includes semi‑tight buffer fibres).
• Standard structure
  • Each method provides: object, sample requirements (length and preparation), apparatus, detailed procedure, acceptance requirements and details to be specified by the user or purchaser.
• Normative references
  • Cross-references important tests and guidance such as IEC 60793-1-32 (coating strippability), IEC 60794-1-2 (general guidance) and IEC 60794-1-22 (environmental tests).

Applications

• Manufacturers and R&D
  • Use the methods to design cable elements with predictable stripping characteristics and to validate production processes.
• Quality control and test laboratories
  • Implement repeatable strippability tests for lot acceptance and conformity checks.
• System integrators, installers and telecom operators
  • Specify strippability criteria in procurement to ensure reliable field termination, splicing and maintenance.
• Compliance and procurement
  • Reference EN IEC 60794-1-310:2022 in specifications and test plans to ensure interoperability and consistent mechanical performance.

Who should use this standard

• Cable designers, test engineers, QC managers, standards writers, procurement teams and certification bodies involved in optical fibre cable manufacturing, testing and deployment.

Related standards

• IEC 60793-1-32 - Coating strippability of individual fibres
• IEC 60794-1-2 - General guidance for basic optical cable test procedures

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 a
