What is BS EN IEC 61757 - Fibre optic sensors about?
BS EN IEC 61757 is a series on fibre optic sensors. A fibre-optic sensor is a sensor that uses fibre either as the sensing element or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals. BS EN IEC 61757 is a generic specification covering optical fibres, components, and subassemblies about fibre optic sensing applications.
BS EN IEC 61757 has been designed to be used as a common working and discussion tool by the vendors of components and subassemblies intended to be integrated into fibre optic sensors, as well as by designers, manufacturers and users of fibre optic sensors independent of any application or installation.
The objective of BS EN IEC 61757 is to define, classify and provide the framework for specifying fibre optic sensors, and their specific components and subassemblies. The requirements of BS EN IEC 61757 apply to all related fibre optic sensor standards which belong to
