I think a Voice over IP is within the scope of the RTTE due to the following definition in the RTTED : Under Article 2(b) of the RTTED, telecomms terminal equipment is defined as a product "enabling communication or a relevant component thereof which is intended to be connected directly or indirectly by any means whatsoever to interfaces of public telecommunications networks" i.e. note "directly of indirectly", a VOIP phone is indirectly connected. Whether it is interpreted to be within the scope of the EMCD, LVD or RTTED it should comply with the LVD and EMCD as specified by Article 3 (Essential Requirements) of the RTTED anyway : Article 3.1(a) of the RTTED - LVD compliance essential requirement Article 3.1(b) of the RTTED - Protection requirements of the EMCD. When applying the EMC immunity tests specified by EN 55024, the Annex A performance criteria of this standard would then apply, which are specifically for TTE.

For a simple reason, voltage is limited to 48 V (SELV) and the phone itself is a SELV unit with a microphone, a speaker and a fancy LCD. Clearly if we "try hard" we may squeeze an IP phone under the RTTE directive, but the proper compliance path should be LVD. I would be surprised if an IP phone manufacturer test their product under the RTTE. ---------------------------------------------------- Ilan Cohen Manager, Telecom Division I.T.L (PRODUCT TESTING) Ltd. 26 Hacharoshet St, POB 211, Or Yehuda, Israel.

AIUI, it falls into the category in which the manufacturer can choose either RTTE or LVD + EMCD. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
