Description

Scope and object

This part of IEC 60793 is intended primarily for testing either
fibres as produced by a fibre manufacturer or subsequently
overcoated (tight buffered) using various polymers. The test can be
performed either on fibres as produced or after exposure to various
environments.

This test applies to A1, A2, A3 and B fibres.

The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements
for the mechanical characteristic – coating strippability. This
test quantifies the force required to mechanically remove the
protective coating from optical fibres along their longitudinal
axis.

This test is not intended as a means to maximize fibre strength
after the coating is removed nor is it intended to specify the best
conditions for field stripping of optical fibres.

This test is designed for optical fibres having polymeric
coatings with nominal outer diameters in the range of 250 µm to 900
µm. Application of this method to fibres with outer coating
diameters outside the range of 230 µm to 930 µm is not
recommended.
