This part of the IEC 61300 series, evaluates the assembly and reassembly of a fibre optic
mechanical splice, a fibre management system or a closure for a specified number of times.
The test procedures simulate the following conditions which may be encountered during the
component's service lifetime:
– the ability of an optical mechanical splice to be re-installed after disassembly;
– the ability to re-enter fibre management systems and closures, by accessing fibres and
optical components and making reconfigurations without disturbing transmission in adjacent
fibre circuits;
– verification of the sealing performance after frequent opening and closing of enclosures.
