This part of IEC 60794 describes the test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for optical fibre cable elements, filling compounds or flooding compounds, for the environmental property-bleeding and evaporation. This document applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. Throughout the document, the wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etcetera. This document describes the test setup, pretreatment, monitoring, recovery time, final measurement, and measurement uncertainties, as well as details of the test report. There are no restrictions on the scope of application of this document. The application of this document increases investment security for manufacturers and users and provides test laboratories and manufacturers with defined specifications for testing.
This document partially replaces DIN EN IEC 60794-1-23:2020-09; VDE 0888-100-23:2020-09 .
