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.

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?

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?
