What is BS EN 3745-506 - Impact resistance about ?
BS EN 3745-506 specifies a method to determine the ability of an optical fibre or cable to withstand impact under specified environmental conditions.
BS EN 3745-506 covers the preparation of specimens, apparatus, and method for testing impact resistance of optical fibre or cables.
Who is BS EN 3745-506 - Impact resistance for ?
BS EN 3745-506 on impact resistance is useful for:
- Aerospace avionic and fibre optic technology
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers for optical cables
- Quality control personnel for spacecraft products
- Manufacturers of optical cables
Why should you use BS EN 3745-506 - Impact resistance ?
Impact resistance is a material's ability to withstand intense force or shock applied to it over a short period of time. Impact resistance also gives an indication of the life or durability of materials used in personal protective equipment.
BS EN 3745-506 gives you guidelines on the procedures and requirements for determining the ability of an optical fibre to withstand impact under specified environmental conditions. Following BS EN 3745-506 guidelines, you will be able to improve the resistance of fibre optics, improve quality and production.
