In Issue 1 of GR-1089-CORE, 3-3 was an objective not a requirement (although it stated that it would become a requirement effective January 1, 1996). I would suggest that it is the fact that this was originally written as an objective and not as a requirement that has led to this ambiguity. I would further suggest that since it is now a R not an O, that you shall meet it...
That's my opinion. Incidentally, Cabletron has a Compliance Engineer position open in our Corporate facility in Rochester NH. We are looking for someone with a few years of experience in EMC and/or Telecom approvals including design reviews. If you are interested, please send your resume to me. My fax number is 603-337-1764 and my e-mail is [email protected]. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 603-337-2822. Regards, Ron Fotino Cabletron Systems. Inc.
