Don & Robert There is only one requirement for non-radio PSTN Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (TTE) designated by publication in the EC OJ (European Community Official Journal) and that is:-
COMMISSION DECISION of 26 May 2000 concerning the request by France to maintain pursuant to Article 18(3)of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (the "R&TTE Directive") a requirement for telecommunications terminal equipment intended for connection to the analogue public switched telephone network of France Telecom (2000/373/EC) This requires limiting of the line current for TTE used in France. There are no other Harmonized PSTN Standards so you can self-declare that you comply with all the applicable specifications under the R&TTE Directive (which is NONE.!) unless you are selling into France.
