Overview
SIST EN 2591-6318:2004 specifies a test method to determine the fire resistance of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers used in aerospace applications. It is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 and references other parts of the EN 2591 series for general procedures and apparatus. The standard focuses on practical verification of flame resistance while monitoring optical performance (attenuation) under defined mechanical and thermal stress.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Assess the ability of optical connection elements to resist flame without propagation across the element.
- Specimen preparation: Items shall be fitted with normal accessories and terminated according to the product standard. Use fire-resistant optical cable/fibre with a minimum length of 450 mm.
- Parameters to specify: Where not otherwise defined by the product technical specification, indicate the type and length of cable/fibre, the optical signal to be applied, and the maximum permissible variation of attenuation.
- Referenced apparatus and methods: The standard refers to EN 2591-318 (fire-resistance general provisions) and EN 2591-602 (variation of attenuation and optical discontinuity). Mated and locked connection elements are used during testing. Flame and torch details are those given in EN 2591-318.
- Test procedure:
- Initial measurements as applicable are carried out per the technical specification.
- Test specimens are connected to LLS and LDS measurement systems and exposed concurrently to flame and vibrations of 100 m/s² at a constant frequency between 30 Hz and 60 Hz.
- Phase 1: For the first 5 minutes, continuously measure variation of attenuation using EN 2591-602 Method A while maintaining the optical signal.
- Phase 2: Apply the flame for 14 minutes.
- Acceptance criteria:
- Final variation of attenuation is assessed per EN 2591-602.
- No flame shall propagate across the optical connection elements during Phase 2.
Applications
SIST EN 2591-6318:2004 is applicable to aerospace manufacturers, test laboratories, and qualification engineers who need to validate the fire-resistance performance of optical connectors and couplers. Typical uses include:
- Component qualification for aircraft and spacecraft optical harnesses
- Comparative testing during product development and supplier assessment
- Verifying compliance with system safety and environmental requirements
Related Standards
