You're probably referring to NEBS standards, which are
a set of US standards on equipment that can be used in
Telco exchanges. Level 3 is the most stringent level,
and includes things such as protection from EMF, Operating
Temerature/humidity ranges, resiliency to lightning strikes
etc. As far as I'm aware, it only applies to equipment
and not data centers although I suppose a DC with only
NEBS-compliant kit in it is in itself compliant.
It is a standard assigned to kit by Telecordia labs.
I also believe that there is a set of work guidelines
for NEBs facailities. NEBs also covers vibration resistance.
