IEC 60793-1-53:2014 provides a practical method for evaluating fibre performance in a defined environment. The purpose of this standard is to define a test that determines the suitability of sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres and class B and C single-mode fibres to withstand the environmental condition of immersion in distilled or demineralized water which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of effects of immersion in water over a given period. This procedure is conducted in accordance with IEC 60068-2-18, Test R. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2001, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - harmonizing the content with sectional specifications of relevant fibre types; - extending the applicability of the standard to Class C single-mode fibres. Keywords: sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres, class B and C single-mode fibres, immersion in distilled or demineralized water

IEC 60793-1-53:2014 présente une méthode pratique pour l'évaluation des performances des fibres dans un environnement défini. L'objet de la présente norme est de définir un essai pour la détermination de l'aptitude des fibres optiques multimodales de sous-catégories A1a à A1d et des fibres optiques unimodales de classes B et C à résister aux conditions d'environnement présentant une immersion dans de l'eau distillée ou déminéralisée, susceptibles de survenir en utilisation réelle, pendant le stockage et/ou le transport. L'essai est essentiellement destiné à permettre l'observation des effets d'une immersion dans l'eau pendant une période donnée. Cette procédure est appliquée conformément à l'IEC 60068-2-18, Essai R. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, publiée en 2001, dont elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - l'harmonisation du contenu avec les spécifications intermédiaires concernant les types de fibres correspondants; - l'extension de l'applicabilité de la norme aux fibres unimodales de classe C. Mots clés: fibres optiques multimodales de sous-catégories A1a à A1d, fibres optiques unimodales de classes B et C, immersion dans de l'eau distillée ou déminéralisée

Standard EN IEC 60793-1-53 zagotavlja praktično metodo za ocenjevanje delovanja vlaken v nadzorovanem okolju. Namen tega standarda je določiti preskus, ki bi določil ustreznost podkategorij večrodovnih optičnih vlaken A1a do A1d in enorodnih optičnih vlaken razredov B in C za prenašanje okoljskih pogojev, kot je namakanje v destilirani ali demineralizirani vodi, ki se lahko pojavi pri dejanski uporabi, shranjevanju in/ali prevozu. Preskus je zlasti namenjen omogočanju opazovanja učinkov namakanja v vodi v določenem časovnem obdobju. Ta postopek se izvaja v skladu s preskusom R iz IEC 60068-2-18.

Overview
EN 60793-1-53:2014 (IEC 60793-1-53:2014) defines a practical water immersion test method for evaluating optical fibre performance when exposed to immersion in distilled or demineralized water. The standard targets sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres and class B and C single‑mode fibres, describing specimen preparation, test conditions, measurement routines and reporting. This edition harmonizes content with sectional fibre specifications and extends applicability to class C single‑mode fibres.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose
- Determine suitability of fibres to withstand immersion in distilled/demineralized water that may occur during use, storage or transport.
- Test environment
- Specimens immersed in a water tank (distilled/demineralized/de‑ionized water) with pH between 5.0 and 8.0.
- Water temperature: 23 °C ± 5 °C; immersion duration: 30 days (performed in accordance with IEC 60068-2-18, Test R).
- Specimen requirements
- Minimum specimen lengths: ≥ 1 000 m for A1a–A1d multimode fibres; ≥ 2 000 m for class B and C single‑mode fibres.
- Fibre coiling: loose coil, ends kept out of water, minimum bend diameter 150 mm to avoid macrobend effects.
- Measurements and procedures
- Optical attenuation measured before, during (after thermal stabilization) and after the test using IEC 60793-1-40 methods (Annex B insertion loss or Annex C backscattering) at wavelengths specified in the relevant product specification.
- Coating strip force measured before and after immersion per IEC 60793-1-32 to assess changes in strippability.
- Recovery period under standard atmospheric conditions: >12 h and ≤48 h, unless the detail specification requires otherwise.
- Pass/fail
- Applicable limits and acceptance criteria are given in the relevant sectional specifications (IEC 60793-2-10 for A1, IEC 60793-2-50 for B, IEC 60793-2-60 for C).
Applications and users
This standard is used by:
- Optical fibre manufacturers for product qualification and quality control.
- Test laboratories performing environmental and reliability testing.
- Procurement and specification engineers who need verified resistance to water immersion during transport, storage or deployment.
- Developers of product specifications and sectional fibre standards.
Keywords: water immersion tests, optical fibres, sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres, class B and C single-mode fibres, immersion in distilled or demineralized water.
