The cable must conform to the family specification (IEC EN 60794-2-30) and meet the requirements defined here. The cable must be designed and manufactured for an estimated operating life of at least 15 years. In this context, the attenuation of the laid cable at operational wavelengths will not exceed the values ​​agreed between the customer and the supplier. The materials in the cable will not pose a health hazard within the scope of its intended use.

The fiber optic ribbon cable may include a tensile strength member. The strength member may be a suitable sheet of material applied longitudinally or helically, or may be embedded in the overall sheath.

Compliance with the relevant detail specification requirements should be verified by performing tests selected from the following sub-items. Not all tests are intended to be performed; The tests to be performed and the test frequency will be agreed between the customer and the supplier.

IEC/TR 62222 provides guidance and recommendations for requirements and test methods for the fire performance of communication cables when installed in buildings. The recommendations relate to typical applications and installation practices and an assessment of the fire hazards presented. Legislation and regulations in force are also taken into account.

Cables intended for laying in ISO/IEC 24702 and related standards may require specification of additional testing to ensure their suitability for applicable environments defined by the Mechanical, Air Intake, Climatic and Chemical and Electromagnetic (MICE) classification.
