National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 61314-1-1:2012.
It is identical to IEC 61314-1-1:2011. It supersedes BS EN 61314-1-1:2006,
which is withdrawn.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
GEL/86, Fibre optics, to Subcommittee GEL/86/2, Fibre optic interconnecting
devices and passive components.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

Fibre optic fanouts – Part 1: Generic specification.
It includes:
–

a blank worksheet with instructions for preparing detail specifications.

Qualification inspection
Procedure

The detail specification shall state the qualification approval procedure to be used, either the
fixed sample or the lot-by-lot and periodic procedure may be used.
3.2

Test schedule and performance requirements

The mandatory test schedules for qualification by the fixed sample procedure are defined in
Table 1 of the detail specification worksheet (see Clause 4).
The fixed sample procedure consists in subjecting a sample of specimens to the fixed sample
qualification test sequence as specified in Table 1. The sample shall be drawn from current
production.

4.1

Quality conformance inspection
Lot-by-lot and periodic procedure

The lot-by-lot and periodic procedure consists in performing the lot-by-lot inspections on a
specified number of inspection lots (a minimum of three) taken in as short a time as possible.
The periodic tests are then performed on samples selected from at least one of the lots.


–6–

BS EN 61314-1-1:2012
61314-1-1  IEC:2011

Samples shall be selected from the lots in accordance with IEC 60410. Normal inspection
shall be used, but when the sample size is so small that acceptance based on zero defects is
implied, additional specimens shall be taken to meet the sample size requirements for
acceptance on one defect
4.2

Lot-by-lot inspection

The mandatory inspection schedules for lot-by-lot inspection (groups A and B) are defined in
the detail specification worksheet (see Clause 5).
4.3

Periodic inspection

The mandatory inspection schedules for periodic inspection (groups C and D) are defined in
the detail specification worksheet (see Clause 5).

Detail specification worksheet

The following worksheet is provided to aid in the preparation of detail specifications. Spaces
are provided for entering information. When the spaces are completed, the detail specification
can be drafted in its final form.
The spaces are identified by numbers between square brackets. Instructions for completing
these numbered spaces are given below. When drafting the final detail specification, eliminate
the square-bracketed instruction numbers.
[1]

The national IEC number assigned to the detail specification is added by the National
Committee.

Add figures showing the dimensions for standard reference components and gauges, if
required (see 4.3.3 of IEC 61314-1). Display the drawings in the format shown.
[12]

Tabulate the identification number for each variant of each component (see 4.8.1 of
IEC 61314-1). Assign a column in the table for each variant feature. For example,
number of fibres or channels, fibre or cable sizes, etc.

[13]

Specify the test fibre/cable for kit arrangement samples. If the detail specification does
not cover a kit arrangement, eliminate the table.

[14]

Enter supplementary information with respect to marking, requirements for certified
records of released lots, and other appropriate information (see 4.8.2 and 4.8.3 of
IEC 61314-1).

[15]

Table 1 defines the measurements and tests for qualification by fixed sample size. If
qualification by lot-by-lot and periodic procedure is specified, eliminate the tables and
renumber subsequent tables in the detail specification accordingly.
Specify the sample size for each group in column n.

[ 16]

Table 2 defines the minimum measurements and tests, required for groups A and B.
Detail specification writers must add those tests or measurements to be carried out to
the table.
Add the assessment level designation along with the inspection level and AQL in the
appropriate place in the tables (see 4.2.5 of IEC 61314-1).

[17]

inspection period, p, in the appropriate place in the tables (see 4.2.5 of IEC 61314-1).
After completing the group C0 or D0 measurements and tests, the sample is divided to
form the other sample groups. When needed, instructions for dividing the sample are
given as a note to the tables.

[18]

When completed, Table 4 will contain the details, measurements and the performance
requirements for all tests and measurements which appear in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
The format for measurements appears on lines [19], [20], and [21]. Enter the
measurement procedure title and reference location on line [19] and the measurement
details on line [20].
The requirements for independent measurements (measurements which are not part of

an environmental test) shall either be specified as a note to the tables where it was
added (Tables 1, 2 or 3), or included in Table 4 under the appropriate measurement on
line [20]. The requirements for dependent measurements (measurements which are part
of an environmental test) shall be specified under the environmental test in Table 4.

The format for environmental tests appears on lines [22], [23], [24], [25], and [26]. Enter
the test procedure title and reference location on line [22]. Enter the test details on line
[23]. Enter the initial measurements to be made along with the performance
requirements on line [24]. Enter the measurements to be made during the test together
with the performance requirements on line [25]. Enter the final measurements to be
