BS EN 60793-1-30:2011

This standard BS EN 60793-1-30:2011 Optical fibres is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.180.10 Fibres and cables

IEC 60793-1-30:2010 describes procedures for briefly applying a specified tensile load as a proof test to continuous lengths of optical fibre. The tensile load is applied for as short a time as possible, yet sufficiently long to ensure the glass experiences the proof stress, typically much less than one second. This method is applicable to types A1, A2, A3 and B optical fibres. The main change with respect to the previous edition is an improved description of the procedure.
