BS EN 62149-8:2014

This standard BS EN 62149-8:2014 Fibre optic active components and devices. Performance standards is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.180.20 Fibre optic interconnecting devices

This part of IEC 62149 covers the performance specifica tion for seeded reflective semiconductor optical amplifier ( RSOA) devices used for fibre optic telecommunication and optical data transmission applications. 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.
