Hi Jim, First, I've been unable to access their web site. It has been my experience in a past life that SABS will accept EMC test data from any internationally recognized test lab. SABS has also accepted EMC test data from AUSTEL accredited test labs as well. There are/were a few AUSTEL accredited test labs in the States. As you may or may not know, AUSTEL and the SMA have merged into the ACA (Australian Communications Authority). Since this merger, the ACA describes a "test house" (or test lab) as meaning "... any laboratory (including a manufacturer's in-house test facility), other than a recognised testing authority that is capable of testing to a technical standard made by the ACA under section 376 of the Act (Telecommunications Act 1997)." I guess that after the merger, these AUSTEL accredited EMC test labs had essentially worthless AUSTEL accreditations. As the above test lab requirements are a bit loose and as I have had no experience with SABS after the merger, does SABS still accept EMC test data from ACA 'recognized' test labs or have they become more formal by specifying only SABS accreditation? It may be worth asking SABS to see if they still accept data from those AUSTEL accredited labs. Comments? Best regards, Ron Pickard [email protected]

SABS has indicated that there are no such test labs in the Unites States, but perhaps some US lab has an affiliation with a lab that is certified by SABS? Any input would be appreciated.
