NEBS GR-63 CORE, Level 3 Compliance as tested by NTS
Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) was developed by
Bellcore, now know as Telcordia Technologies, and is currently
maintained by Telcordia Technologies. NEBS was developed to
standardize requirements for Central Office Equipment and to
develop criteria for personal safety, protection of property, and
operational continuity.
UL Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. is an independent, not for profit
safety testing and certification organization based in the
United States.
NEBS Level 3 Criteria is the minimum of environmental
compatibility needed to provide maximum assurance of
equipment operability within the network facility environment.
The Level 3 Criteria is the highest assurance of product operability.
Products that meet NEBS Level 3 Criteria are suited for equipment
applications, which demand minimal service interruptions over the
life span of the equipment. The Panduit
