Your reseller is correct.
I was testing some ISDN product in South Africa (Telkom) 4 weeks ago.
If you have European test reports that are compliant with I-CTR3/4 or NET3/5
these should be accepted and only functional testing would be carried out.
The functional testing take about a day per product.
In addition to the functional testing, Telkom will want to carry out testing
to ETS300 047 Pt 2 and 3.

If your product is a PC card then you do not need to show EMC and Safety
compliance to obtain a type approval. If your product is a Standalone device
then you will need to submit EMC and possibly Safety reports to obtain you
approval. This has to be carried out by SABS (South African Burea of
Standards) 

Good Luck.

Subject: South Africa

     I received the following from a reseller in South Africa.  Does 
     anyone have more information on this?  Keep in mind this comes 
     from is a reseller (sales type):
     
     --------------
     TELKOM South Africa has changed their approach to ISDN 
     certification (for the better), previously they used to test all 
     ISDN layers locally which took ages and pages of information.
     
     New procedure:
     
     - If the product has been certified for Euro NET3, we need to 
     submit a copy of the test report, TELKOM will check this report 
     and conduct a functionality and safty test thereafter (no more 
     layer testing).
     
     - If the product has not been NET 3 certified, we need to do the 
     complete procedure which could take a couple of month.
