IEC 62572-3:2016（E）涉及通信用激光模块的可靠性评估。本标准的目的是建立一种评估激光模块可靠性的标准方法，以最大限度地降低风险，促进产品开发和可靠性，并建立确定故障随时间分布的方法。这应能够确定指定寿命终止标准的设备故障率。此外，IEC TR 62572中给出了指南- 2.本第三版取消并取代2014年出版的第二版。本第三版为技术修订版，表1和表2中的错误已被更正。

IEC 62572-3:2016(E) deals with reliability assessment of laser modules used for telecommunication. The aim of this standard is to establish a standard method of assessing the reliability of laser modules in order to minimize risks and to promote product development and reliability and to establish means by which the distribution of failures with time can be determined. This should enable the determination of equipment failure rates for specified end of life criteria. In addition, guidance is given in IEC TR 62572-2. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This third edition constitutes a technical revision in which errors in Table 1 and Table 2 have been corrected.
