The 60950 was the route I was wanting to take since I am more familiar with that standard. I feel that I would be meeting the safety requirement of the directive by applying that, but am also concerned with being as "correct" as possible. I haven't dealt with the RTTE directive, so the information concerning the input voltage limits was very helpful.
BTW: The headset is a pair of headphones with a boom mic attached. Thank you for all your input - it has been VERY helpful. Chris K.

You are allowed to hold your breath, but figure on holding it for ten years, at the current estimate. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
