Still can be done at an independent site. The Lab I use, ACME Testing,
here in Washington has accreditation to at least the radiated emissions
portions of the GR-, I have to check on the susceptibility, but I think so.
Even if that were not true. I believe that if your "NRTL" accepts the EMC
data from the other lab they will include it in the overall report.
Now there is the dicey part. Many of the NRTL's have their own EMC labs
and may not want to loose the cash, and try reject the independent lab's
report. I would find that a really hard sell however, because the NRTL labs
undoubtedly carry accreditation through NIST for the EMC portion, making any
argument about competency of the "independent lab" a tough sell.
At any rate I've never quite understood the justification for not
calling laboratories which are accredited through programs set up by and
through the FCC, as NRTLS'. The basic assumption I would make is that the
FCC knows a heck of a lot more about this aspect of testing and
accreditation than OSHA does. Heavy sigh!

BM__MailDataJeffrey, the requirement that was for NRTL lab (&
Bellcore representative) for each section of GR-63 & GR-1089, has been
dropped. See section 3.1.2 in the BA-NEBS-R10.
However, FCC data/frequency range for radiated emissions is
insufficient: You should have data based on GR-1089 requirements &
objectives (10 kHz to 10 GHz).

Group,
Can anyone confirm that the RBOC's, particularly Bell Atlantic has
agreed to
accept EMC FCC data from non NRTL's?
If this is true please provide any documentation to support this. (You know
a customer is going to want to see it)
Thanks in advance,
