Jack, GR-49-CORE "Generic Requirements for Outdoor Telephone Network Interface Devices (NIDs)" covers NIDs. There's also some useful information in GR-2834-CORE "Generic Requirements for Basic Electrical, Mechanical, & Environmental Criteria for Outside Plant Equipment". For Safety, UL uses Subject 1697 and the category is DUZO. These requirements borrow from UL 60950, UL 1459, the NEC, GR-1089-CORE, GR-49-CORE, and a few other standards. You should also keep in mind that you'd have to meet FCC Class B as the device is mounted directly on a residence. The RBOC exemption goes away since the device is not under their complete control.
