IEC 62005.4 describes the appicatlon of a screening process. It notes that a proper screening process is actually a process, not a test. As a process it shall be maintained and constantly validated to ensure that it achieves the purpose for which it was defined, This process is applied to a product in order to induce products with a known failure mechanism to fail in a controlled situation before the product is deployed in the field.
IEC 62005-6 is intended to provide guidance on the use of field data for assessing the reliability performance of a device.
IEC 62005-7 (under consideration) describes a common set of procedures for calculating the reliability of fibre optic connectors, splices and passive branching devices, The standard deals specifically with component reliability as calculated from life tests which are accelerated in some manner. Without common procedures, the calculation of device reliability is subject to numerous assumptions and approaches. The subsequent stated results may be ambiguous and difficult to interpret and may lead to mistaken conclusions.
4 Reliability approach
A reliability approach, outlined in figure 1, shows a process for defining and improving the reliability aspects of a passive optical component. Each element in the reliability approach plays an important role in the reliability assessment of a passive optical component. In addition, there are several interactions between the elements that lead to Improved product and ultimately Improved reliability.

Characterization, specification and qualification form minimal requirements of any new product. The product life cycle is an important consideration, particularly for rapidly developing products. Tests that take longer to perform than the current generation of product may have diminished value, but often provide information leading to future improvements. Once a new product has been sufficiently characterized, it is typically subjected to performance testing. The testing is based on specification requirements and the outcome may include product infant mortalities. This leads to pass/fail requirements and the need for standard test and measurement procedures.
