scope:

This specification describes single-fibre optical cables for indoor use with applications such as transmission equipment, telephone equipment, data processing equipment and communication and transmission networks. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to establish quality assurance by quality control procedures which ensure that the product will meet the requirements of this standard. It is not intended that a complete testing programme shall be carried out on every length of fibre cable. When the purchaser wishes to specify acceptance tests or other quality procedures, it is essential that an agreement has been reached between the purchaser and the manufacturer at the time of ordering.
