6. TEST REQUIREMENTS FOR OPGW 6.1 General There are different test series to assure the quality of OPGW: Routine test (in process testing according to internal quality paln) Factory acceptance test (FAT, witnessed by customer) Type test (only in case of a basis new design, repetition in exceptional cases only) OPGW tests shall be accordance with applicable standards or agreements between purchaser and manufacture. Type test Type test may be waived by submitting makes certificate of the similar product was performed in an internationally acknowledged independent test organization or laboratory. If type test should performed, it will be carried out according to an extra type test procedure that is reached an agreement between purchaser an

manufacture. Routine test The optical attenuation coefficient on all production cable lengths in measured according to IEC 60793-1-CIC (Back-scattering technique, OTDR). Standard single-mode fibers are measured at 1310nm and at 1550nm. Non-zero dispersion shifted single mode (NZDS) fibers are measured at 1550nm. Factory test Factory acceptance test are carried out on two samples per order in the presence of the customer or his representative. The requirements for quality characteristics are determined by relevant standards and agreed quality plans. 6.2 Test items The following table shows the test items carried out according to corresponding reference.
