JATE approval is required for CPE; I have not found any requirements for CO type equipment. China All network/telecom equipment must be approved by Ministry of Information Industry (MII). All equipment is tested in China, a very slow and expensive process. If the equipment passes then you will be granted a network access license (NAL). The NAL is required before you can legally sell or connected the equipment. Korea Telecom products, including those that incorporate optical interfaces, require telecom type approval and certification by the RRL (Radio Research Laboratory). By definition, telecom type approval requires Telecom, EMC and Safety testing to be performed by an accredited lab, note all accredited labs reside in Korea, with the exception of Nemko Canada by virtue of an MRA. Telecom testing on optical interfaces is fairly limited. EMC is essentially the Korean translation of CISPR 22 and CISPR 24 standards. Safety is based on IEC 60950. For purposes of the MIC/RRL certification process, an accredited lab must carry out all 3 disciplines. IT products not falling under the scope of telecom type approval must still be submitted for EMC testing and approval. Testing is limited to emissions and immunity and must be tested at an RRL accredit lab. In my opinon the NEBS and ETIS test reports don't take you very far in China or Korea.

For those who have ventured into these regions with carrier class equipment, has NEBS and ETSI carried enough weight or have some countries/carriers required additional testing. I would also be interested in hearing whether Product Safety and/or EMC certifications are required or are declarations/reports sufficient when product is destined for the central office ONLY. I'll take whatever you have but my primary concern for now is: Japan China Australia/NZ Korea Any and all input, feedback, links, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
