Testing
NEBS (Network Equipment Building Systems)
 Bureau Veritas Electrical, through Curtis Straus, has been performing NEBS (Network Equipment Building Systems) testing for many years. NEBS is a requirement for telecom equipment to be deployed in a central office facility. Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) require the tests to insure network integrity and continuous operation of the network. The standards most commonly required are Bellcore GR-1089-CORE and GR-63-CORE. Curtis-Straus LLC offers expert testing to these standards.
NEBS testing can be particularly harsh with EMC tests from 60 Hz to 10 GHz. Power cross testing is performed at a punishing 60A at 600 VAC. Specialized test equipment and the expertise to apply the intricate standards appropriately is an art form. According to customers, our experts have what it takes to get the job right. From a fully interlocked 75 kW power cross simulator to fully ferrite absorber-lined chambers instrumented to 10 GHz, Bureau Veritas Electrical has made a significant investment in NEBS testing.
At Bureau Veritas Electrical the job doesn't end with the delivery of the report. Due to the complexity of NEBS standards, RBOC representative reviewing the test report often needs further interpretive guidance on particular aspects of a product's compliance. Bureau Veritas Electrical will assist you with this process. From Verizon to AT&T, Bureau Veritas Electrical is familiar with the RBOCs and can help expedite you product acceptance.
Bureau Veritas Electrical offers a variety of NEBS related services in addition to GR-1089 and GR-63. We also perform GR-78 circuit pack level ESD testing. We produce MTBF reliability analysis reports in accordance with SR-332.

The Curtis-Straus NEBS Certification Program (NCP) is a value added service provided to manufacturers of telecommunications equipment. The NCP program is designed to provide an independent third party certification of a vendor’s telecommunication product and formally document that it has been tested to and meets the requirements of GR-1089-CORE and GR-63-CORE. Evidence of certification is provided in the form of a certificate, with product labels for client support and promotional plaques for marketing support.
