This European Standard contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental performance requirements which a multimode mechanical splice will meet in order for it to be categorised as an EN standard product.

Since different variants and grades of performance are permitted, product marking and identification details are given in 3.5.

Although in this document the product is qualified for EN 60793‑2‑10 type A1a.1, A1a.2, A1a.3 and A1b multimode fibres, it may also be suitable for other fibre types.
