Richard, Verizon does not recognize NEBS Level 3 as called out in Telcordia/Bellcore SR-3580. They had input into this document, but later regretted it. What Verizon does recognize is their own checklist at www.verizonnebs.com <http://www.verizonnebs.com/> . The confusion comes from the fact that the SR-3580 requirements are scattered throughout Verizon s checklist.
At the NEBS 2002 Conference last week, Verizon introduced their latest revision of their checklist. They are trying to incorporate all of the other RBOCs and ATT requirements into this document. I caution everyone to obtain the specific checklists/requirements from each or your potential customers and comply with them. NEBS Plus is mentioned in an article I wrote for Evaluation Engineering What Every Startup Needs to Know About NEBS: http://www.evaluationengineering.com/archive/articles/0502emc.htm The intent was to highlight that just meeting NEBS Level 3 was not enough to get equipment into your customers central offices. In summary, there is no NEBS Level 3 Plus requirement, there are only customer requirements.

I have checked the Verizon web pages, the archives of the emc-pstc, and the word search on the internet, with no luck. Otherwise, I believe this is just another name for the checklist document that Verizon uses and can be downloaded from their website. Thanks in-advance.
