John, 

For a start, you might contact UL and ask for their "Guidance to New Applicant" 
pamphlet (or some similar name). This describes the procedure to be followed 
when submitting to UL, and is generally applicable to other safety 
certification agencies. CSA undoubtedly also has a similar pamphlet. 

The FCC will provide you with a Part 68 submission checklist, so will CCL 
(Communications Certifications Lab) in Salt Lake City Utah (yes I know, you 
said non-telco). 

Most EMC labs will also have their own brochures and pamphlets which will help 
guide through the EMC maze. Contact enough of them and you may have enough 
information to write your own EMC procedure. 

As I said, this is a start.

Hi Guys

This is a big question.  I am looking for brief descriptions of
regulatory procedures (if they exist) for safety and EMC compliance of
IT (non Telco) equipment.  I have a large list of countries so basically
you can assume that every country is on it!!

My questions are what standards apply to IT equipment for electrical
safety and EMC and secondly, if self declaration is not acceptable what
type of procedures apply.  I guess following on from that is which labs
are acceptable.

Boy isn't that a tall order.  Depending on if I get enough replies I
promise to collate them all and post them back on TREG in a suitably
simple format.

Thanks for your help

JohnP
