Optical circuit boards - Part 3: Performance standards - General and guidance (IEC 62496-3:2011)

This part of IEC 62496 covers general information on optical circuit board performance standards. It defines those tests and severities which form the performance categories or general operating service environments and identifies those tests which are considered to be product-specific. Test and severity details are given in Annex A. IEC 62496-3 provides references, definitions and rules for creating optical circuit board performance standards, as well as related information pertinent to the subject. Subsequent parts of the IEC 62496-3 series are sequentially numbered and contain performance criteria for specific applications. Each part will be added as the performance criteria become standardized for international use.

Cartes à circuits optiques - Partie 3: Normes de performance - Généralités et guide (IEC 62496-3:2011)

La CEI 62496-3:2011 couvre les informations générales relatives aux normes de performance sur les cartes à circuits optiques. Elle définit les essais et les sévérités qui constituent les catégories de performance ou les environnements de service ou de fonctionnement et identifie les essais considérés comme spécifiques au produit.

Plošče z optičnimi vezji - 3. del: Tehnični standardi - Splošno in navodila (IEC 62496-3:2011)

Ta del IEC 62496 zajema splošne informacije o izvedbenih standardih za plošče z optičnimi vezji. Opredeljuje preskuse in natančnosti, ki oblikujejo izvedbene kategorije ali splošna delovna okolja za obratovanje, in določa preskuse, ki so specifični za posamezen proizvod. Podrobnosti o preskusih in natančnosti so navedene v dodatku A. IEC 62496-3 zagotavlja reference, opredelitve in pravila za oblikovanje izvedbenih standardov za plošče z optičnimi vezji ter povezane informacije, ki se nanašajo na tematiko. Nadaljnji deli serije IEC 62496-3 so zaporedno oštevilčeni in vsebujejo izvedbena merila za posamezne uporabe. Vsak del bo dodan, ko bodo izvedbena merila standardizirana za mednarodno uporabo.

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 62496-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 86: Fibre
optics.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
86/380/FDIS 86/387/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.
