This part of IEC 62149 covers the performance specification for 1 300 nm fibre optic
transceiver modules used for the ISO/IEC 8802-3 Gigabit Ethernet application. The performance
standard contains a definition of the product performance requirements together with a
series of sets of tests and measurements with clearly defined conditions, severities, and
pass/fail criteria. The tests are intended to be run on a “once-off” basis to prove any product’s
ability to satisfy the performance standard’s requirements.
A product that has been shown to meet all the requirements of a performance standard can
be declared as complying with the performance standard, but should then be controlled by a
quality assurance/quality conformance program.
