Hi John, You are right. The only requirements are for EMC and Safety (according to the R&TTE directive).
I remember there was only 1 (temporary) exception, important if the POTS equipment will be used in France. (drawn current < 80 mA) Probably this requirement is gone now, but be careful. Success!
