Bellcore has assembled its proposed generic quality and reliability assurance requirements applicable to fiber optic transport systems used in interoffice and distribution applications into a Technical Advisory,TA-TSY-000418,"Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Fiber Optic Transport Systems." This paper provides an overview of those requirements.The Technical Advisory (TA) covers requirements in many aspects of quality and reliability and includes (1) new proposed requirements not previously issued and (2)references to existing generic requirements in other Bellcore documents.The major topic areas of the TA include:· Fiber Optic System Requirements; including reliability,availability,infant mortality,maintenance,environmental,and subassembly requirements;· Development and Manufacturing Program Requirements;including reliability program development, manufacturing program,quality program, product and process qualification,and software quality and reliability program requirements;· Factory Surveillance and Source Inspection Program Requirements;· Customer Support and Field Reliability Requirements.This set of requirements and the resulting Technical Advisory were developed to provide Bellcore's clients and their suppliers of fiber optic transport systems with one concise and comprehensive set of Bellcore's proposed quality and reliability requirements.The document contains Bellcore's preliminary view of generic considerations necessary in product design,development,and implementation to help assure the continuing level of service Bellcore's clients expect to deliver to their customers while minimizing expenditures due to quality and reliability concerns.
