由于当今基础设施的复杂性，几乎没有中断的余地，任何系统，包括接地和连接网络，都可能是最薄弱的环节。由于最好的设计可能会因实施不当而失效，ANSI/BICSI N3规定了电信连接和接地系统的规划和安装方面。ANSI/BICSI N3还符合NFPA 70、国家电气规范®和主要ICT连接和接地基础设施设计标准（即ANSI/TIA-607、ISO/IEC 30129），有助于确保这些系统的有效性。

With the complexity of today's infrastructure with little margin for outages, any system, including the grounding and bonding network, can be the weakest link. As the best design can be undone by poor implementation, ANSI/BICSI N3 specifies aspects of the planning and installation of telecommunications bonding and grounding systems.ANSI/BICSI N3 is also compliant with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code® and the primary ICT bonding and grounding infrastructure design standards (i.e., ANSI/TIA-607, ISO/IEC 30129), helping to ensue the effectives of these systems.
