We will be on our Christmas break from 23 December 2025 at 1:00 p.m. and will be available again from 5 January 2026. Please note that new registrations and requests requiring manual processing will only be handled from this date onwards.
You may, of course, place orders and access downloads online at any time.
We wish you happy holidays, a restful break, and a healthy start to the New Year!

Short description
Polymer optical fibres (POF) are used for data transmission. Industrial automation and vehicle applications use them to a larger scale. During assembly, installation and operation of polymer optical fibres accompanying tests are necessary for quality assurance. The series of standards VDI/VDE 5570 helps to improve quality of tests and measurements on polymer optical fibres by enabling better reproducibility and comparability of results. The standard describes testing methods for mechanical characteristics, for the quantification of environmental influences and for an approximation of the expected life span. The methods described are focussing on testing buffered fibres (combination of optical fibre and buffer). The standard is a base for better and easier communication between manufacturers, distributors and users on technical properties of polymer optical fibres.
