Overview
EN 3745-703:2005 - “Aerospace series - Fibres and cables, optical, aircraft use - Test methods - Part 703: Durability of manufacturer's marking” is a CEN/AECMA-STAN test method that defines how to assess the permanence of the manufacturer's marking on finished optical aircraft cables. The standard specifies specimen preparation, the abrasion test apparatus and operating conditions, and the acceptance criterion for legibility after wear.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Tests the permanence of manufacturer's marking on finished optical cables used in aircraft.
- Specimen preparation: Follow EN 3745-100; when not defined in the product standard, specify type of specimen, number of specimens, length (default 0.75 m unless otherwise stated), and mass value.
- Normative references: EN 2591-100 (general test elements), EN 3745-100 (general), EN 3745-201 (visual examination).
- Apparatus description: A mechanical abrasion device (see figure in the standard) including:
- needle holder, counter mass, mechanism and mass,
- cable clamp and anvil (low thermal mass),
- specimen travel set to (10 ± 1) mm,
- operating frequency (55 ± 5) cycles/min.
- Test method: Secure specimen with marking uppermost, apply the specified load to the needle holder, and perform 125 abrasion cycles.
- Acceptance criterion: After testing, perform visual examination per EN 3745-201. The marking must remain legible and not have a continuous line scored through the printing.
Applications and who uses it
- Cable manufacturers: to validate marking durability during product development and quality control.
- Aerospace OEMs and suppliers: to ensure installed optical cables retain traceability and identification under expected wear.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies: to perform standardized abrasion tests for procurement or compliance checks.
- Maintenance and quality assurance teams: to verify in-service or replacement cable markings meet aerospace traceability requirements.
Practical value
- Ensures traceability and safety by confirming that identification markings remain legible after mechanical wear.
- Provides a repeatable, measurable test that can be integrated into incoming inspection, production validation, and supplier qualification processes.
- Supports procurement specifications by giving an objective acceptance criterion for marking permanence.
