6. Pass / fail Acceptance Guidelines
Proper guidance on pass/fail criteria is beyond the scope of this manual, since it is likely to vary significantly.
The Standard ISO/IEC14763-3 Testing of optical fibre cabling specifies requirements and visual standards
for connector end face inspection with a microscope.
The standard and common industry practices recommend the following pass/fail acceptance criteria:
•Markings on the core or damage to the cladding close to the core are unacceptable.
•Slight scratches and small pits on cladding, away from the core, are acceptable.
•Cracks are not permitted in either core or cladding.
7. Eye Safety Precaution
While handling live fibers, always observe eye safety procedures compliant with your company policy,
relevant laser safety standards and safety practices.
8. Care of Your Instrument
This is a precision optical instrument. Keep it clean, dry and do not drop. Avoid exposure to moisture or
excessive vibration. When not in use, always replace the dust cap to protect the instrument’s adaptor or
adaptor head from accidental damages.
