Hi Jim: I don't know of any on-line information as you describe, but Telcordia Technologies does put on seminars like one called "Understanding NEBS Compliance". I do have an old web address for them http://www.800teachme.com .
I would recommend buying some standards even if you are just investigating the possibility of getting into NEBS, it is a major investment. SR-3580 has description of the "levels" (the ones you've already found are not entirely agreed upon), but it gives some overview as to the sort of requirements that would be applicable to equipment. GR1089 and GR63 seem to be the most critical documents that cover most of the requirements. But individual customer requirements are very important in this area (especially after-the-sale support). Feel free to contact me off-line if you'd like. Richard Richard Payne Tektronix, Inc.

All I know is that it covers EMC, safety, and environmental, there are different levels (1, 2, and 3?), and different potential customers disagree on what level we need to have. We need to understand the basic differences between these levels, how much testing is involved for each level, and what the cost might be. Of course we are going to get our hands on the standard(s) and study them, but in the meantime a primer would be very useful. We would also consider seminars if there's something close by the Pacific northwest. Thanks, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
