IEC 62496-1:20 08适用于具有以下所有一般特性的光学电路板: -在平面中具有直的、交叉的、弯曲的光路以及输入和输出光端口的传输图案； -由光纤和/或光波导组成的光路； -如果需要，光路的受控长度； -可以与印刷电路板组合，印刷电路板的功能超出了本标准的范围； -光学部件之间的互连和安装部件的能力。

IEC 62496-1:2008 applies to optical circuit boards possessing all of the following general features:
- transmit patterns with straight, cross, bending optical paths and input and output optical ports in plane;
- optical paths consisting of optical fibres and/or optical waveguides;
- controlled lengths of the optical paths, if required;
- may be combined with a printed electric circuit board, the functionality of which is outside the scope of this standard;
- to interconnect between optical components and the ability to mount components.
