Foreword
The text of document 86A/1396/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60794-2-10, prepared by SC 86A, Fibres
and cables, of IEC TC 86, Fibre optics, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved
by CENELEC as EN 60794-2-10:2011.
This document supersedes EN 60794-2-10:2003.
The main changes with respect to EN 60794-2-10:2003 are as follows:

– A new clause has been introduced: Clause 4 – Dimensions.
– Test conditions and requirements have been made more accurate.
– The new Subclause 5.5 has been added to give useful figures.

The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2012-06-14
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
(dow) 2014-09-14
• latest date by which the national
standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60794-2-10:2011 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
In the official version, for Bibliography, the following notes have to be added for the standards indicated:
IEC 60654-4 NOTE  Harmonized as EN 60654-4.
