IEC 60825-2 Safety of Laser Products, Part 2: Safety of Fiber Optic Communication Systems

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC 60825-2 testing. IEC 60825-2 provides requirements and specific guidance for the safe operation and maintenance of fiber optic communication systems (OFCSs).

IEC 60825-2 Safety of Laser Products, Part 2: Safety of Fiber Optic Communication Systems

In these systems, optical power may be accessed possibly outside the confines of the transmitting equipment and/or at a great distance from the optical source.

This standard requires an assessment of the hazard level at each accessible location of OFCS instead of product classification according to IEC 60825-1. It is applied to OFCs installed as an end-to-end assembly designed to generate, transmit and receive optical radiation from lasers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or optical amplifiers.

The individual components and sub-assemblies falling within the definition of laser product are subject to the relevant sub-clauses of IEC 60825-1. This standard applies to individual components and subassemblies intended to be installed within OFCSs.

This standard does not apply to fiber optic systems primarily designed to transmit optical power for applications such as materials processing or medical treatment.

In addition to the hazards from laser radiation, OFCS likely pose other hazards such as fire.

This standard does not address explosion or fire safety issues with OFCs deployed in explosive atmospheres.
