This document briefly summarizes the following families of electrical fast
transient/burst (EFTB) standards for information technology equipment (ITE) and
related (generic) equipment:
NOTE: ??? means that no withdrawal date has been published for this standard,

DISCLAIMER
These documents are freely offered to anyone who wishes to use them. No
warranty for their use is expressed or implied. The most-current versions may
be downloaded from the dBi Corporation web site
http://www.dbicorporation.com/.
The information in these documents is believed to be correct, as far as it goes,
because they are based strictly on the FCC regulations, Official Journal of the
European Communities (OJ) and the test standards themselves- see
Bibliography.
Nevertheless, please base your decisions on the current FCC regulations,
appropriate issue(s) of the OJ, the pertinent test standard(s), and their
amendments.
The "References standards:" and "Referenced by standards:" sections in
particular are known to be incomplete. These sections can only be filled out by
referring to the exact test standard/amendment. And we don't want to spend up
to several hundred dollars buying a standard to get this information, when the
OJ tells us that it is identical to one we already own!
