NEBS / Telcordia

 
NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial and environmental design guidelines applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. NEBS is why telephones work after an earthquake or thunderstorm! The NEBS equipment design guidelines, (requirements and objectives in Telco-speak) are described in Telcordia documents:

 

Telcordia GR-63-CORE (Bellcore/Telcordia) Standards, Reliability testing predicts the reliability of electronic equipment based on the Bellcore standards GR-63 (published by AT&T Bell Labs).  Identifies the minimum generic spatial and environmental criteria for all new telecommunications equipment systems used in a telecommunications network.  Included with these equipment systems are associated cable and distributions systems, distribution and interconnecting frames, power equipment, operations support systems, and cable entrances facilities.

 

Reliability of the telephone system is considered a national security issue, is demanded by consumers and makes good business sense. Therefore, NEBS testing is taken very seriously by both  the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and other service providers as well as manufacturers developing equipment used for the telecommunications network.
