Overview
EN 61300-2-9:2017 (IEC 61300-2-9:2017) specifies a test method to reveal mechanical weakness and/or degradation of fibre optic devices when subjected to repetitive or non‑repetitive mechanical shock. It simulates infrequent shocks likely during normal service or transport, and is intended for qualification and verification of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. This third edition (2017) replaces the 2010 edition and includes new clauses for terms, apparatus detail, testing procedure and a bibliography.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and purpose: Simulate shocks that a device may encounter in service or during transportation to detect mechanical weakening and functional degradation.
- Terms and definitions: Harmonized with ISO 2041 and IEC 60068-1 to ensure consistent vocabulary (check point, fixing point, DUT, etc.).
- Apparatus: Precise requirements for shock machines, mounting fixtures and optical power measuring equipment; guidance on acceleration measuring systems and frequency response of the measuring chain.
- Pulse shape and tolerances: Defined shock pulse forms (for example, half‑sine) and tolerances for velocity change and cross‑axis motion to ensure repeatable results.
- Procedure: Structured test flow including preparation of the device under test (DUT), pre‑conditioning, initial examination and measurements, the actual shock testing, recovery and final examinations.
- Check/fixing points: Guidance on where to mount sensors and how to relate measurement points to DUT fixing points for valid acceleration control.
- Severity and classification: Severity levels and severity tables are provided for different types of components (passive components, modules, closures, fibre management systems).
- References: Normative cross‑references to IEC 60068‑1, IEC 61300‑1, IEC 61300‑3‑1, IEC 61300‑3‑28 and ISO 2041.
Applications and who uses it
EN 61300‑2‑9 is used by:
- Manufacturers of fibre optic connectors, adapters, passive modules and closures for product qualification and design validation.
- Test laboratories performing environmental and transport tests, including vibration test and transport test programs.
- Quality assurance and reliability engineers to establish acceptance criteria and failure analysis processes.
- Specifiers and procurement teams who require verified mechanical robustness for deployed fibre systems. Practical use cases include pre‑shipment transport testing, field‑service ruggedization checks and validation of new connector designs against shock‑induced transient loss or mechanical failure.

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) 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 61300-2-9 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) inserted clause "Terms and definitions";
b) added precise descriptions to clause "Apparatus";
c) added sub clause "Testing" into clause "Procedure";
d) added "Bibliography".
