IEC 61757:2026 defines, classifies, and provides a framework of generic tests or measurement methods for characterizing and specifying fibre optic sensors, including their specific components and subassemblies. The requirements of this document apply to all related fibre optic sensor standards that are part of the IEC 61757 series. Other parts of the IEC 61757 series contain requirements that are specific to sensors that measure particular quantities, and to a particular style or variant of such a fibre optic sensor. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) expansion of the list of metrological parameters; b) updates of the terms and definitions; c) updates of the normative references and bibliography; d) updates of the technical descriptions in Annex A.

IEC 61757-1-4:2025 defines the terminology, structure, and measurement methods of distributed fibre optic sensors for absolute strain measurements based on spectral correlation analysis of Rayleigh backscattering signatures in single-mode fibres, where the fibre is the distributed strain measurement element in a measurement range from about 10 m to tens of km. This document also applies to hybrid sensor systems that combine the advantages of Brillouin and Rayleigh backscattering effects to obtain optimal measurement quality. This document also specifies the most important features and performance parameters of these distributed fibre optic strain sensors defines procedures for measuring these features and parameters. This part of IEC 61757 does not apply to point measurements or to dynamic strain measurements. Distributed strain measurements using Brillouin scattering in single-mode fibres are covered in IEC 61757-1-2. The most relevant applications of this strain measurement technique are listed in Annex A, while Annex B provides a short description of the underlying measurement principle.

IEC 62343:2023 applies to all commercially available optical dynamic modules and devices. It describes the products covered by the IEC 62343 series, defines terminology, fundamental considerations and basic approaches. The object of this document is to:
- establish uniform requirements for operation, reliability and environmental properties of dynamic modules (DMs) to be implemented in the appropriate DM standard, and
- provide assistance to the purchaser in the selection of consistently high-quality DM products for their particular applications, as well as in the consultation of the appropriate specific DM standard(s).
This document covers performance templates, performance standards, reliability qualification requirements, hardware and software interfaces and related testing methods. Since a dynamic module integrates an optical module/device, printed wiring board, and software/firmware, the standards developed in the series will mimic appropriate existing standards. On the other hand, since "dynamic module" is a relatively new product category, the dynamic module standards series will not be bound by the existing practices where requirements differ.The safety standards as related to dynamic modules are mostly optical power considerations, which is covered by the IEC 60825 series (see Clause 6). This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- addition of terms and definitions for optical multicast switches (3.8);
- revision of Clause 4, listing the requirements for standards in the IEC 62343 series;
- addition of Clause 6 (Safety requirements).

The document specifies test methods and procedures for measuring key performance parameters of these sensors. It addresses only the voltage sensing element and not the additional devices that are unique to each application. The document does not specify the required performance values of optical polarimetric fibre optic voltage sensors, because these specifications depend on the designated application of the sensor and are typically defined by the user of the sensor. The required performance values are usually defined when designing a sensor for a specific application.
