IEC 60793-1-1 (E) provides a list, and gives an overview of the documents giving the uniform requirements for measuring and testing optical fibres, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial (mostly telecommunications) purposes. The main changes with regard to the previous edition concern: - re-wording of Clause 8: Categories of optical fibres; - removal of Clause 10: Cross-reference of former test designations to current documents and removal of the bibliography.
