ANSI T1.329-1995
Network Equipment Earthquake Resistance Standard
This standard, when it is used with established earthquake qualification practices, sets forth the test methods and acceptance criteria for determining earthquake resistance of network telecommunications equipment. Earthquake resistance is the equipment's ability to maintain a defined level of functionality, without physical damage, disruption of service, or personnel, hazard, during and after an earthquake. The purpose is to establish standards for the network that will ensure a level of survivability to preserve telecommunications services during and after an earthquake. This American National Standard establishes methods for determining equipment functionality within a defined earthquake environment. The test methods described in this standard apply to all network telecommunications equipment that may be fastened to either flooring, walls, or other structural elements within a network facility.
