About This Item
IEC 62496-2-4:2013 defines a focused test and measurement procedure for optical circuit boards, specifically the optical transmission test for boards without input/output fibres. It is relevant when engineers and laboratories need a documented method to evaluate transmission behavior in an optical interconnect or board-level design. As a technical reference, IEC 62496-2-4:2013 supports consistent verification activities, comparison of test results, and more reliable compliance workflows during product evaluation and technical review.
Purpose of IEC 62496-2-4:2013
The purpose of this document is to provide a common basis for measuring optical transmission on optical circuit boards that do not use input or output fibres. That makes it useful in engineering documentation, laboratory evaluation, and conformity assessment preparation where repeatable test methods are needed. By defining the measurement focus at the board level, the document helps organizations align testing workflows with a structured technical assessment approach and reduces ambiguity when reviewing optical performance data.
Compliance applications of IEC 62496-2-4:2013
This publication is typically used in product verification, development testing, and quality workflows for optical circuit board designs and related subsystems. It may support procurement review, supplier qualification, and documented evaluation of test results where optical transmission behavior must be checked under controlled conditions. In compliance preparation, it can serve as a technical document for internal validation, helping laboratories and engineering teams apply a consistent method during performance testing and pre-certification activities.
Benefits of IEC 62496-2-4:2013
Using IEC 62496-2-4:2013 can improve testing consistency and make optical transmission measurements easier to compare across projects, teams, or test sites. That is valuable for risk management, technical validation, and operational consistency, especially when results feed into design decisions or conformity assessment files. It also supports clearer procurement and supplier communication by giving stakeholders a shared compliance reference, which can reduce rework, improve traceability, and strengthen quality assurance during product development and release.
