La CEI 61300-2-12:2009 est destinée à évaluer l'aptitude d'un dispositif passif à fibres optiques ou d'un boîtier à résister à des impacts qu'ils peuvent recevoir en cours d'utilisation. L'impact peut être un impact localisé, une série d'impacts avec des objets durs ou un impact habituellement associé à la chute du dispositif. Dans cette troisième édition, on a ajouté l'essai d'impact à la bille d'acier.

Overview
EN 61300-2-12:2009 (adopted from IEC 61300-2-12:2009) specifies basic test procedures to evaluate the resistance of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components to mechanical impacts encountered in normal use. It applies to devices and closures subjected to localized impacts, repeated impacts from hard objects, or impacts caused by dropping. The third edition notably adds an impact test using a 1 kg steel ball.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose: Assess whether a passive fibre optic device maintains functionality after impact; failure is defined as impairment causing non‑conformance with the relevant specification.
- Three test methods:
- Method A - Pendulum (pendular) drop: specimen (with attached cable or adaptor) swings into a hardened steel impact plate.
- Method B - Steel ball impact: a 1 kg steel ball is dropped through a guide onto a specimen placed on a smooth hard surface (concrete or steel); other impactors may be specified where required.
- Method C - Free drop of specimen: the specimen is released to free‑fall from a suspension point onto an impact surface.
- Apparatus and surfaces: impact plates (steel plate min. 12.5 mm thick), drop guides/release devices, and fixtures to mount cables or adaptors are described to ensure repeatable test conditions.
- Procedure essentials: preparation, preconditioning, initial visual/examination and measurements, defined test sequence (orientation, number of drops/impacts), recovery period and final examinations. Severity parameters (drop height, impact energy, specimen mass and orientation) are user‑specified or given in the relevant product specification.
- Pass/fail criteria: functional impairment judged against the applicable product performance requirements.
Applications and users
- Who uses it: fibre‑optic component manufacturers, test laboratories, design engineers, quality assurance teams, procurement/specification writers, and compliance officers.
- Practical uses:
- Verify mechanical robustness of connectors, splice closures, patch panels and passive enclosures against handling and transport impacts.
- Provide reproducible evidence for product claims, R&D validation, and manufacturing quality control.
- Support procurement specifications and acceptance testing for telecommunications, data center, and outdoor plant equipment.

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 max
