General and guidance
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60793 lists and gives guidance on the use of documents giving the uniform requirements for measuring and testing optical fibres, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial (mostly telecommunications) purposes
The individual measurement and test methods are contained in the different parts of the IEC 60793 series They are identified as IEC 60793-1-X, where "X" is an assigned sub-part number, indicating its affiliation to IEC 60793-1
In general, measurements and tests methods apply to all class A multimode fibres and Class B single-mode optical fibres covered by the IEC 60793-2 series, although there may be exceptions Clause 1 of each part of IEC 60793 contains the scope for each particular attribute

5 Standard atmospheric measurement and test conditions
Standard atmospheric conditions need to be controlled within some range to ensure proper correlation of data obtained from measurements and tests conducted in various facilities Conduct measurement and test conditions under the following atmospheric conditions, unless otherwise specified In some cases, special ambient conditions may be needed and can be specified in the detail specification
Table 1 gives the standard range of atmospheric conditions for carrying out measurements and tests:
Table 1 ± Standard range of atmospheric conditions
Atmospheric pressure
Keep variations in ambient temperature and humidity to a minimum during a series of measurements
6 Calibration guidance
The process of calibration may be defined as the set of operations which establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by a measuring system and the known values of a reference material Once established, this relationship may be used to adjust the measuring system to correct for measurement bias Adjustment of the system may, for example, take the form of hardware or a software adjustment
Follow the instructions given in the test procedure documents as may be necessary for calibration and adjustment of the apparatus to ensure successful application of the documents If suitable reference materials do not exist, then consideration should be given to
an appropriate strategy to minimise measurement uncertainty
Record relevant information of the calibration process, such as the calibrated value and uncertainty of the reference material or test equipment used
Trang 13– 10 – 60793-1-1 IEC:2008(E)
7 Reference test methods
Several attributes have an agreed-upon reference test method (RTM) This is the method that shall be used to settle disputes
8 Categories of optical fibres
The measurement methods and test procedures indicated in this standard apply to fibre categories described in Clause 5 of IEC 60793-2, as appropriate
9 Packaging
For handling and shipping of optical fibres, the packaging device shall meet the following requirements:
a) winding techniques shall enable the optical fibre to withstand transport and specified environmental conditions;
b) the possibility of measuring the dimensions, transmission and optical characteristics of the optical fibre without removal of the fibre from the packaging device shall be indicated; c) reel dimensions shall be provided to the customer
