Reliability of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Part 3: Relevant tests for evaluating failure modes and failure mechanisms for passive components
This part of IEC 62005 focuses on failure mechanisms associated with interconnecting devices and passive components. In order to estimate reliability by the acceleration testing described in IEC 62005-2, it is important to determine the dominant failure mechanism and the related test. This part of IEC 62005 introduces a choice of relevant tests from all the IEC 61300 series tests for each known failure mechanism and failure effects related to certain failure modes. (In IEC 62005-5, extension of severity depending on environmental category and performance request will be given.)
