These tests are used for both inclusion and exclusion. If you are
the only source you may have a chance, if you're not or if they have a
preference of some sort, your risk of loosing the sale to a competitor is
greatly increased.
        You still have the option of having a NRTL witness the test at a
non-NRTL facility and attest to the results.
        Bottom lines is these are really private standards and the RBOC's
can and will change them at will. Verizon's requirement to have a thermal
imaging camera run during the flame test - is an example.

Greetings,

I'm trying to get a feel for how well the Regional Bell Operating Companies
(RBOC's) have accepted non-NRTL test reports for GR-1089, especially for
sections 2 and 3 (ESD and EMI).  From what I understand, the requirement for
NRTL-generated test reports has been relaxed within the past year or two.

Thanks in advance.
