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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60794-3-60 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60794-1-1, IEC 60794-1-2 and
IEC 60794-3. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 86A/1232/FDIS 86A/1243/RVD

Part 3-60: Outdoor cables –
Family specification for drinking water pipe
cables and subducts for installation by blowing and/or
pulling/dragging/floating in drinking water pipes
1 Scope This part of IEC 60794 is a family specification that covers drinking water pipe cables and subducts for installation by blowing and/or pulling/dragging/floating in drinking water pipes. Systems built with components covered by this standard are subject to the requirements of sectional specification IEC 60794-3. Drinking water pipe cable and subduct constructions have to meet the different requirements of the drinking water companies and/or associations regarding chemical, environmental, operational interactions and in general maintenance conditions. A table of preferential applications, describing drinking water pipe cable characteristics versus methods of installation is reported in Annex A for drinking water pipe cables. Clause 4 describes a blank detail specification for drinking water pipe cables and subducts for installation by blowing and/or pulling/dragging/floating in drinking water pipes. It incorporates some minimum requirements.
Detail specifications may be prepared on the basis of this family specification. The parameters specified in this standard may be affected by measurement uncertainty arising either from measurement errors or calibration errors due to lack of suitable standards. Acceptance criteria should be interpreted with respect to this consideration. The number of fibres tested is representative of the drinking water line cable and should be agreed between the customer and the supplier. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The drinking water pipe cables and/or subducts shall be designed and manufactured for an expected operating lifetime of at least 10 years. It shall be possible to install or remove the cable in or from the drinking water pipe throughout the operational lifetime. The materials in the drinking water pipe cable and/or as well as accessories including sealing elements, i.e. I/O-ports and subducts shall not present a health hazard within its intended use. 4.1.2 Subducts In the case of use, the subduct with outer nominal diameters ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm shall be able to resist pressure differences needed for installation by blowing and able to withstand the water pressure within the drinking water pipe. They shall be circular and the outer and inner surfaces a low coefficient of friction. The material shall withstand all possible chemical attacks by the drinking water itself, as for instance the PE tube material used by the water supply companies. Inner- and outer-diameter and overall minimum wall thickness shall be specified. 4.1.3 Drinking water pipe cables A drinking water pipe cable in accordance with this specification should be suitable for installation in drinking water pipes by the following installation methods, also applicable the access drinking water pipe work: – blowing and/or pulling into a subduct, previously installed into the drinking water pipe between two I/O-ports; – direct installation into the drinking water pipe between two adjacent I/O-ports. The attenuation of the installed cable at the operational wavelength(s) shall not exceed values agreed between the customer and the supplier. There shall be no fibre splice in a delivery length unless otherwise agreed by the customer and the supplier. It shall be possible to identify each individual fibre throughout the length of the drinking water line cable.
