Reply to: RE>Several Surge Questions
Mark, Here's what I was able to collect in the past for the Israeli regime. Feel free to contact them directly (or via Motorola ISG in Israel, they should be identified on your Rolodesk). If all fails (i.e., you don't know with whom to talk, call Dave Clement, John Anderson or Don McChesney. They are in your campus!)

Today I received a faxed reply from my contact at the SII (The Standards Institute of Israel) to that effect. It is copied verbatim and supplied as-is. If someone out there knows their net address, please supply: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - From: Eng. A. Pereiman, Manager, Technical Information Center for Exporters & Israeli UL InfoCenter & WTO Inquiry Point. Your query on the above subject was forwarded to me by Mr. Gidaly Belman. The following are the relevant answers: 1. _Photometry_&_Office_Machines_ are covered by the mandatory Israeli Standard SI 1221 which is identical, besides negligible deviation, with International Standard IEC 950 (UL 1950 and CSA 22.2-220 [?, looks like this was a typo and should have been -950] are almost identical with it, too). In addition, this Standards comprises EMC requirements identical with those mentioned in CISPR 22. Compliance testing is being performed by our institution, while Israeli Customs Services do recognize relevant certificates. To obtain a premarket certification, you are advised to contact [Disclaimer: Translated from Hebrew, so here I may be incorrect in the English pronunciation]: Eng. Aharon Baharel, Head of Main Branch Electronics lab., SII 42 Chaim Levanon Street Tel-Aviv 69977, Israel Tel +972-3-646-5146 Fax +972-3-646-5286 2. To obtain a license for placing _Telecom_Equipment_ on the Israeli market, there is to apply to [Disclaimer: Translated from Hebrew, so here I may be incorrect in the English pronunciation]: Mrs. Paulina Weissman Products Approval Department, Communication Ministry 9 Ahad-Ha'am, 5th Floor Tel-Aviv 65251, Israel Tel +972-3-519-8230 Fax +972-3-519-8249 In principle, this kind of equipment is being tested by our Institution, too, but there has to be a request from the above office. Testing is being performed by our Institution, by the same Laboratory (the same contact person) and in compliance with the same safety and EMC Standards, as above. Information on possible additional technical requirements for this kind of equipment, is being supposed to be provided by Mrs. Weissman. 3. All this, for Israel. As for _Egypt_, unfortunately, we do not have any information readily available. I have sent the fax to the Information Centre of the Egypt Standards Organization, on your behalf. When and if I receive an answer, I would be glad to inform you. If you have any additional queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Hope this helps, Naftali Shani Nortel ====================================================================== -------------------------------------- List-Post: [email protected] Date: 96/9/18 5:02 PM To: Naftali Shani From: [email protected] ----- E X T E R N A L L Y O R I G I N A T E D M E S S A G E ----- Dear Treg, After reviewing immunity and telecom documents concerning surge requirements and compatibilty of telecommunications terminal equipment, several questions have arisen: 1. IEC 1000-4-5, EN 61000-4-5, and prEN 55024 define requirements for surge to voltage levels of 4.0 kV. As I understand these test procedures, telecommunications terminal equipment is tested to 1.5 kV without external protection. For levels which exceed 1.5 kV, a primary protection circuit is installed between the surge generator and the terminal equipment. Is this understanding correct? 1a. If this understanding is correct, can anyone provide a reference for this primary protection? 2. Can someone provide a reference for Israel's surge requirements? 3. Are there any international or country specific surge requirements (longitudinal or metallic) which exceed a voltage amplitude of 2 kV (without primary or other external protection)? Any assistance with these questions will be greatly appreciated. Thanx, in advance, for any assistance.
