Overview
EN 3745-501:2005 is a CEN-approved aerospace standard that specifies a method for determining the optical fibre proof test for fibres and cables intended for aircraft use. Designed as part of the Aerospace series for optical fibres and cables, this document sets out the procedural basis for confirming fibre integrity and mechanical reliability in aviation environments. It is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test methods) and refers to the detailed measurement procedures in EN 60793-1-30.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose: Defines the method to determine an optical fibre proof test for aircraft-use optical fibres and cables.
- Normative references: Requires application alongside EN 2591-100 and EN 60793-1-30, which provide general test provisions and the detailed measurement/test procedures respectively.
- Test method linkage: EN 3745-501 points users to EN 60793-1-30 for the specific measurement methods and procedural steps that implement the proof test.
- Aerospace applicability: Tailored to the requirements of aerospace manufacturers, ensuring repeatable, traceable testing suitable for aviation qualification programs.
- Compliance framework: Published under CEN/AECMA-STAN, intended for adoption as a national standard across member countries.
Applications
EN 3745-501:2005 is used wherever optical fibres and fibre optic cables require validated mechanical integrity for aircraft systems:
- Aerospace manufacturers specifying and qualifying optical fibres for avionics, in-flight entertainment, sensor networks and flight-critical data links.
- Component and cable suppliers performing production proof testing as part of quality control and product certification.
- Test laboratories executing standardized proof tests for procurement acceptance, qualification, or certification campaigns.
- Systems engineers and procurement teams defining test requirements in technical specifications and contracts for aviation-grade optical cabling.
- Regulatory and certification bodies relying on standardized test methods during conformity assessment for aircraft installations.
