12 FOREWORD
13 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
14 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
15 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
16 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
17 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
18 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
19 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
20 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
21 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
22 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
23 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
24 interested IEC National Committees.
25 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
26 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
27 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
28 misinterpretation by any end user.
29 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
30 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
31 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
32 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
33 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
34 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
35 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
36 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
37 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
38 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
39 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
40 Publications.
41 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
42 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
43 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
44 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
45 IEC 60794-1-214 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical
46 committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an International Standard.
47 This first edition cancels and replaces Method F14 of the second edition of the IEC 60794-1-
48 22:2017.
49 Additionally, there are a few technical changes. This edition includes the following significant
50 technical changes with respect to the previous edition of IEC 60794-1-22:2017:
51 a) reorganization of the document to a more logical flow making it easier for the reader :
52 b) a clause for conditioning according to ISO 4892-2 was added for outdoor cables:
