DIN EN 62572-3:2012-07

This part of IEC 62572 deals with reliability assessment of laser modules used for telecommunication. The aim of this standard is: - to establish a standard method of assessing the reliability of laser modules in order to minimize risks and to promote product development and reliability; - to establish means by which the distribution of failures with time can be determined. This should enable the determination of equipment failure rates for specified end of life criteria. The standard provides manufacturers and test laboratories with security in the definition of the tests and serves as a reference for quality assurance. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 412.2 "Komponenten für Kommunikationskabelanlagen" ("Components for communication cabling systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
