    ORDERING INFORMATION

    ABSTRACT:
    Telecommunications service providers use GR-1089 to ensure that their telecommunications equipment meets the Electromagnetic
    Compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety criteria necessary to perform safely and reliably. The NEBS criteria in this document covers
    equipment in Central Offices (COs); equipment in the Outside Plant (OSP) at locations such as Controlled Environmental Vaults (CEVs),
    Electronic Equipment Enclosures (EEEs), wireless applications and huts; equipment in uncontrolled structures such as cabinets; and
    network equipment at the customer premises.

    Telecommunications equipment, by nature of its application in the telecommunications network, may be exposed to one or more sources
    of electromagnetic energy. The system-level generic criteria for EMC presented in this NEBS document are intended to help avoid
    equipment damage and malfunction because of lightning, 60-Hz commercial power fault conditions, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD),
    Electrical Fast Transient (EFT), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), operation in the presence of a DC potential difference, and
    operation in a steady-state induced voltage environment. Safe voltage levels for intentionally applied sources, electrochemical
    corrosion effects, grounding, and DC powering are considered as well.

    GR-1089 applies to wireless systems providing fixed services that are installed in locations with telecommunications network
    equipment or information technology networking equipment. It also applies to equipment that is mounted outside the facility and whose
    antennas are integrally mounted or mounted on the roof or on an antenna mast.

    All sections of GR-1089 have been revised since Issue 6 was published in May 2011. The most extensive technical changes are listed
    below:
    • The test methods in Section 2, "System-Level Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Electrical Fast Transient (EFT)," have been
      updated for clarity.

    • The test methods in Section 3, "Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)," have been updated for clarity. Radiated emissions limits have
      been extended up to 40 GHz.

    • The test methods in Section 4, "Lightning and Power Fault," have been updated for clarity.

    • The safety criteria in Section 7, "Electrical and Optical Safety Criteria," have been updated.

    • Appendix D, "Radiated Immunity in the millimeter Wave (mmW) Frequency Ranges - Informative Annex," is a new appendix that provides,
      for informational purposes, a test procedure for mmW radiated immunity testing.

    • Appendix E, "Section 4 First-Level Lightning Criteria Discussion," is a new appendix that discusses the rationale for the
      requirements in Section 4.


    GR-1089, Issue 7, is a companion document to GR-63, Issue 5, NEBS Requirements: Physical Protection.

    Issue 7 of GR-1089 replaces Issue 6 and is a module of FD-NEBS-01.

    When using GR-1089, you may want to refer to these other related NEBS equipment protection requirements documents: GR-63,
    SR-3580, GR-78, GR-357, GR-487, GR-2930, GR-3180, GR-3171, GR-3160, and various standards and industry
    forum documentation.
