BS PD IEC/TR 60825-17:2015 recommends safety measures to protect against effects causedexclusively by thermal, opto-mechanical and related effects in passive optical componentsand optical cables used in high power optical fibre communication systems.This part of IEC 60825 does not apply to the use of high power optical systems in explosiveatmospheres or the use of optical fibres in material processing machines. Throughout this partof IEC 60825, a reference to `laser? is taken to include light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and opticalamplifiers.Cross References:IEC 60825-1:2014IEC 60825-2:2004IEC 60825-2:2004/AMD1:2006IEC 60825-2:2004/AMD2:2010ITU-T Recommendation G.664IEC 60793-2-50IEC 60794-1-1IEC TR 61292-4IEC 61300-2-14:2012IEC 61300-3-6IEC 61300-3-34IEC 61300-3-35IEC 61753-1IEC 61754-4IEC TR 62048IEC 62074-1IEC TR 62547IEC TR 62627-01IEC TR 62627-03-02IEC TR 62627-03-03IEC TR 62627-03-04ITU-T Recommendation G.657OITDA-TP 04/SP-PD-2008OITDA-TP 08/AM-2010OITDA-TP 09/SP-PD-2010
