What is BS EN 2591-6317 - Verifying optical connectors suitability of materials about?
BS EN 2591 is a series on elements of electrical and optical connection. An optical fibre connector is a flexible device that connects fibre cables requiring a quick connection and disconnection.
BS EN 2591-6317 specifies a method of verifying the suitability of materials used in optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers with respect to non-propagation of a flame when exposed to a flame for a short period. BS EN 2591-6317 shall be used together with BS EN 2591-100 which is the Aerospace series – Elements of electrical and optical connection – Test methods – Part 100: General.
Who is BS EN 2591-6317 - Verifying optical connectors suitability of materials for?
BS EN 2591-6317 on the method of verifying optical connectors suitability of materials is useful for:
- Government organization
- Aerospace and Defence Industry
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of optical connectors
- Electrical engineers
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Fibre cable inspectors

- Manufacturers and suppliers of optical connectors
Why should you use BS EN 2591-6317 - Verifying optical connectors suitability of materials?
Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain aircraft and spacecraft.
BS EN 2591-6317 best practices can help engineers, manufacturers, and designers to choose the right material (like for instance cables that do not propagate flames) to be used in their equipment. For the suppliers, BS EN 2591-6317 will help to determine the safety of the product in which the product can be better marketed to boost sales. For the end-users, BS EN 2591-6317 ensures that the materials used in the manufacturing of the product are as per the security guidelines. Thus, ensuring the safety of human life. Using BS EN 2591-6317 you can specify a method of verifying the suitability of materials used in optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers.
