1 Scope
This document specifies the PSR (product specific rules) for optical/copper telecom accessories products. It covers the use, installation
and end of life stages and provides methodological precisions to PEP/PCR writing for “optical/copper telecom accessories” products used for communication,
data, control and command. PSR and general rules all together form the product category rules.
In the “accessories” category covered by IEC technical committees 46 and 86, there
are four types of products:
-
• optical accessories (connectors and splices);
-
• balanced connectors;
-
• coaxial connectors;
-
• metallic waveguides.
This specification document is primarily intended for:
-
• environment and/or product managers;
-
• LCA (life cycle assessment) experts in companies, in charge of PEP/PCR development;
-
• verifiers in charge of PEP/PCR conformity assessment in accordance with the defined rules.
