Dear Ed,

Thanks for your clarification and a copy of revised  "An overview of the
current Approval for the Russian Federation", Issue 2.

Let us not forget that NEBS documents specify set of requirements
(occasionally procedures)and refer to applicable US testing standards not
necessarily harmonized with international standards.

        Dear Dave / Vitaly,

        In general terms throughout Europe (West [EU] - Central - East
[incl.
        CIS]) the ETS 300 019/119 series tends to take precedence [over
NEBS]
        where required by customers (e.g. Network Operators).

        There are no regulatory requirements in the EU and strictly speaking
        there are only environmental & reliability requirements to be met
for
        the Russian Federation's Elektrosviaz (Telecom) Certification.

        As US manufacturers tend only to test for NEBS, I have had to use
the
        relevant NEBS or HALT test reports to support the TT&C [Technical
Terms
        & Conditions] document presented to the State Committee.  In terms
of
        test reports demonstrating compliance with Safety and EMC, NEBS
reports
        would not be accepted albeit that they are now closely aligned with
        International standards.

        Best regards,

        Dave,

        I am quite familiar with LONIIS (in St. Petersburg) and I am rather
        surprised.  Typically, GOST-R mark would be satisfactory.  LONIIS is
one
        of
        Russia Telecom Certification Centers.  NEBS has nothing to do with
        homologation and LONIIS's scope of evaluation, as I see it.  Did
they
        take
        NEBS tests results as a substitute for all other relevant safety and
EMC
        tests?

        Could you elaborate?
        Thanks,
        Vitaly  Gorodetsky

                Does anyone have a feel for the degree of acceptance of
        GR-63/1089
        in
                Europe? I can remember at a previous company we got LONIIS
in
        Russia
        to
                accept NEBS test results with minimal additional assessment
        against
        ETS 300
                019/119.

                Anyone else have any stories to tell, other than the obvious
        spatial
                differences?

                Thanks,
