My experience has been that your approval is not limited to the rack
that you used during the testing. The only situation I could think of where
this might not be the case is if you had originally failed and needed a rack
with specific response criteria in order to pass.
Comments??

Subject: GR-63 Seismic
Greetings Nebs group,
I am interested in the general consensus with respect to one aspect of
seismic testing of rack mounted equipment....
If a shelf-based system, which is designed to be installed in any
seismic approved rack assembly (e.g. 19"), is seismic tested in a
particular rack (e.g. Newton), is the performance normally extrapolated
to be representative of installation in any generally "seismic approved"
19" rack (e.g. Hendry, tested by rack manuf with dummy loads, etc.)??
In other words, is GR-63 seismic compliance for the shelf system linked
only to the rack in which it was tested, or will any generally tested
GR-63 "seismic approved" rack suffice?
Any and all opinions welcome.
Thanks,
Scott
