My experience is much the same - USE A STRUCTURED APPROACH - Identify the Need - plan to Do what is Necessary for your product - CONFIRM THE NEED before commitment. Best regards Gregg PLEASE NOTE:

Without getting into details, the main point is that it is brutal (and even that is an understatement), and it is expensive. A full-on test involves everything from EMI compliance, to earthquake testing, to flame and fire tests. Costs can easily run to US$100,000 and time to do the test can range from 6 weeks to months. There are several independent test labs in the US that can do the testing. I have not personally put any equipment through NEBS, but last spring I spent a couple of days at a test lab in the San Francisco Bay area (MET Labs) looking at their capabilities and how NEBS would impact the design of our telecom power electronics equipment. Perhaps others with more actual testing experience may be able to fill in the details. Bob Wilson.
