Overview

This document provides basic information on the mechanical and environmental test methods specified in the series of standards. This part of IEC 61300 provides general information and guidance for the basic test and measurement procedures defined in the IEC 61300-2 series and IEC 61300-3 series for interconnecting devices, passive components, mechanical splices, fusion splice protectors, fibre management systems and protective housings. This standard is used in combination with the relevant specification which defines 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 relevant specification, the latter takes precedence. This document contains overriding testing requirements for fibre optic connectors and passive fibre optic components. There are no restrictions on the scope of this document. This basic standard 61300-1 shall be observed when applying the standards of the 61300 series. Its application enhances investment security for manufacturers and users and provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with defined testing specifications. Application of the standard increases investment security for manufacturers and users and provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with defined specifications for testing.
