ITU-T Recommendations

Recommendation ITU-T K.137 specifies the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) common requirements and test methods for wireline telecommunication network equipment, used in public telecommunication networks to provide telecommunication services, including voice, data, audio and video to end-users, using all applicable media and all types of wireline access technologies, such as digital subscriber line (DSL), plain old telephone service (POTS), Ethernet, E1 and fibre. Test conditions for all types of wireline telecommunication network equipment are described, e.g., access equipment, router and switching equipment, optical transmission equipment, data centre and cloud computing equipment. This Recommendation describes the specific testing levels to be applied to wireline telecommunication environments such as telecommunication centres, customer premises and outdoor locations.
