1 Scope
This part of EN 61935 specifies reference measurement procedures for cabling parameters and the requirements
for field tester accuracy to measure cabling parameters identified in series EN 50173. This standard does not apply to EN 50173‑4.
This International Standard applies when the cable assemblies are constructed of cables complying with the IEC 61156 family of standards, and connecting hardware as specified in IEC 60603‑7 family of standards or IEC 61076‑3‑104 and IEC 61076‑3‑110. In the case where cables and/or connectors do not comply with these standards, then
additional tests may be required.
This standard is organized as follows:
• reference laboratory measurement procedures on cabling topologies are specified in
Clause 4. In some cases, these procedures may be used in the field;
• descriptions and requirements for measurements in the field are specified in Clause 5;
• performance requirements for field testers and procedures to verify performance are
specified in Clause 6.
NOTE 1 This standard does not include tests that are normally performed on the cables and
connectors separately. These tests are described in IEC 61156‑1 and IEC 60603‑7 or IEC 61076‑3‑104 and IEC 61076‑3‑110 respectivel...
