Full title and description

STB DIN EN 61753-1 E 2016-09 — Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components — Performance standards — Part 1: General and guidance. This record refers to the DIN/EN adoption (E) of IEC 61753‑1 providing general rules, definitions and guidance for creating performance standards for passive fibre‑optic products (connectors, passive optical components, fibre management systems and enclosures).

Abstract

Part 1 of the IEC/EN 61753 series establishes the structure and content of performance standards for passive fibre‑optic products. It defines the suite of tests and severity levels that form performance categories (environmental and service profiles), identifies those tests that are product‑specific, and includes informative annexes (for example, test lists, sequencing guidance and definitions) to support creation and interpretation of product performance standards.

Scope

This part gives general rules and guidance for drafting performance standards applicable to passive fibre‑optic products. It specifies which tests (and at what severities) are used to assign products to performance categories or service environments, identifies product‑specific test requirements to be given in later parts of the series, and supplies informative annexes including test lists, guidance on test sequencing, and definitions needed to prepare a performance standard. The standard is intended to be used alongside the product‑specific parts of the IEC/EN 61753 series and the basic test procedures in the IEC 61300 series.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of performance categories (environmental/service profiles) and mapping of tests to those categories (tests + severities / MICE‑style environmental parameters).
• Identification of product‑specific tests to be defined in subsequent parts of the 61753 series (connectors, cable assemblies, passive components, closures, etc.).
• Normative test sets and severity tables (summarised in Annex A of the document) used to classify mechanical integrity and optical transmission under specified environmental conditions.
• Guidance on preparation of a performance standard, including numbering conventions, informative annexes, and test sequencing recommendations.
• References to and dependence on IEC 61300 series basic test and measurement procedures for implementing test methods.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of fibre‑optic connectors and passive components, test laboratories and certification bodies, procurement and quality departments in telecommunications and data‑centre operators, systems integrators and engineering teams use this part as the framework for specifying and interpreting product performance categories. It is used when drafting or applying product‑specific 61753 performance standards and for preparing test programs that reference IEC 61300 procedures.

Related standards

IEC/EN 61753 is a multi‑part series; Part 1 is the general/guidance document and is complemented by product‑specific parts (for connectors, cable assemblies and other components). The 61753 series is used together with the IEC 61300 basic test and measurement procedures. The 2016 E edition shown here has since been replaced in the standards system by later EN/IEC editions (see FAQ).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Part 1 of the IEC/EN 61753 series — the general and guidance document that defines how performance standards for passive fibre‑optic products should be prepared, which tests and severities form performance categories, and which tests are product‑specific.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions, normative test lists and severity tables (Annex A), guidance on preparing product performance standards, test sequencing and related informative material. It does not itself provide product‑specific test procedures (those appear in later parts of the 61753 series) and relies on IEC 61300 for basic test and measurement methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Standards committees, manufacturers of fibre‑optic connectors and passive components, testing laboratories, procurement and quality engineers in telecom and data‑centre sectors, and systems integrators who need a common performance classification framework.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The E DIN EN 61753‑1:2016‑09 edition is listed in catalogue records as withdrawn; the IEC/EN system has published later consolidated editions (EN/IEC 61753‑1 editions from 2018/2019 and corrigenda/amendments thereafter). Users should reference the most recent EN IEC 61753‑1 edition (for example the 2018/2019 EN IEC edition and subsequent amendments) for current normative requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — IEC/EN 61753 is a multi‑part performance standard series for passive fibre‑optic products; Part 1 is the general guidance document and is complemented by product‑specific parts (connectors, cable assemblies, enclosures, etc.). It is intended to be used with IEC 61300 basic test procedures.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Fibre optic, connector, passive component, performance standard, test severity, environmental classification, IEC 61753, IEC 61300, DIN EN.
