DANSK DS/EN 62150-1 PDF

This part of IEC 62150 contains a series of performance test procedures, including preferred
severities designed to assess the ability of active components to perform under expected
service conditions. This part of IEC 62150 provides general information that applies to all of these
procedures.
The object of this standard is to provide uniform and reproducible environmental test
procedures and measurement procedures, for those preparing specifications for fibre optic
active components and devices.
These test and measurement procedures are based on available international engineering
experience and judgement, and are designed to provide information on the following
properties of active components:
a) ability to operate within specified limits of temperature, pressure. humidity, mechanical
stress or other environmental conditions and certain combinations of these conditions;
b) ability to withstand storage and transport;
c) ability to meet the specified levels of optical performance.
Active optical components considered in the present standard are those specified in the
IEC 62007, IEC 62148 and IEC 62149 series.
The tests in this standard permit the performance of sample components or equipment to be
compared. To assess the overall quality of a production lot, the test procedures should be
applied in accordance with a suitable sampling plan and may be supplemented by appropriate
additional tests, if necessary.
To provide tests appropriate to the different intensities of an environmental condition, some of
the test procedures have a number of degrees of severity. These different degrees of severity
are obtained by varying the time, temperature or some other determining factor separately or
in combination.
This standard should be used in combination with the detail specification, which will define the
tests to be used, the required degree of severity for each of them, their sequence, if relevant,
and the permissible performance limits. In the event of conflict between this basic standard
and the detail specification, the latter will apply.
