Hi Armund:
I work frequently with the Telcordia GR-63 and GR-1089 telecom standards, but I have not looked at the ETSI series you mention. At least in the case of the Telcordia standards, the requirements are generally targeted at equipment that will be used in telecom network facilities such as central offices, cell tower sites, outdoor equipment cabinets, and pole-mounted locations. If the non-telecom equipment you have in mind is not used in very similar environments, I suspect the ESTI standards might not be a good match. Also, as Marko points out, testing to the GR-63 and GR-1089 standards is very expensive. It is not unusual to spend over $50K on lab testing fees for a single product. Here in the USA, the only companies that voluntarily subject themselves to the GR-63 and GR-1089 testing are doing do because their prospective customer requires meeting these standards as a condition for purchasing the product. It is common for all of the major USA carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Centurylink, etc.) to require some degree of Telcordia compliance for any products they use in their networks.

I assume that regular electronic devices (not telecom devices) can use this series to category the devices according to the classes described in the series. In the absence of similar standards for general electronics, use of EN 300 019 should be better than nothing. Or are there other environmental standards that's recommended?
