Overview

EN IEC 61300-2-34:2024 (IEC 61300-2-34:2024) defines test methods for assessing the resistance of fibre optic interconnecting devices, passive components and protective housings to solvents and contaminating fluids, and for verifying retained functionality after exposure. It is part of the IEC 61300 series on basic test and measurement procedures for fibre optics and updates the 2009 edition with revised classification of procedures, fluids and test severities.

Key topics

  • Scope of testing: Resistance to solvents and contaminating fluids for optical connectors, adaptors, passive components and housings, including evaluation of functionality post-exposure.
  • Apparatus & materials: Requirements for containers, specified test fluids, heat sources and temperature-controlled equipment.
  • Test sequence:
    • Device-under-test (DUT) preparation and preconditioning
    • Initial examinations and measurements (see related visual and optical tests)
    • Conditioning (two procedures: Procedure A and Procedure B)
    • Recovery and final examinations/measurements
  • Measurements referenced: Integration with visual inspection and optical performance checks (attenuation and return loss as per IEC 61300-3-1, -3-4 and -3-6).
  • Severity classification: Test severities and recommended fluids are defined (see Table 1), enabling selection of appropriate exposure levels based on application or performance class.
  • Reporting: The standard specifies the details to be recorded and reported following testing.

Practical applications

  • Quality assurance and type-approval testing of optical connectors, adapters, pigtails, passive modules and protective enclosures where exposure to cleaning solvents, fuels, oils or other contaminating fluids may occur.
  • Product development and R&D validation to confirm material and design resistance to common maintenance solvents and field contaminants.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies performing standardized contamination-resistance testing for suppliers and OEMs.
  • Procurement and specification writers who require evidence that components meet defined contamination resistance and functional-retention criteria.

Who should use this standard

  • Manufacturers of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components
  • Independent test laboratories and QA teams
  • System integrators and telecommunications contractors specifying component robustness
  • Regulatory and conformity assessment bodies

Related standards

  • IEC 61300-1 (General guidance)
  • IEC 61300-2-38 (Sealing tests)
  • IEC 61300-3-1, -3-4, -3-6 (Visual, attenuation, return loss measurements)
  • IEC 61753 series (Performance standards)
  • IEC 62005 series (Reliability)

EN IEC 61300-2-34:2024 is essential when specifying or validating contamination resistance for optical components, helping ensure reliable field performance after exposure to solvents and fluids.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) p
