This standard specifies the product classification, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, operating instructions as well as packaging, transportation and storage of the plastic optical fibre for communication (hereinafter referred to as optical fibre).
This standard is applicable to plastic optical fibre whose refractive index distribution is suddenly-varied type, multistep type or gradually-varied type, with plastic core and plastic cladding and used for short distance communication in industrial equipment, electrical equipment, consumer electronics equipment, transducer, access network and local area network as well as vehicle, ship and aircraft. For the plastic optical fiber in the field of decorative lighting, this standard may also be applied by reference.
