IEC TR 62316:2026 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.
IEC TR 62316:2026 which is a Technical report, provides guidance on the interpretation of backscattering traces, as obtained by traditional optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) for single-mode fibres. This document does not cover Polarization OTDRs. Also, backscattered power effects are discussed in case of unidirectional trace. Full description of the test measurement procedure can be found in Annex C of IEC 60793‑1‑40:2024. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
