Hello All: Recent discussions on the emc-pstc listserver indicate that the Czech Republic has made an effort to harmonize their regulatory scheme with the European Union's RTTE directive. I have reviewed the text of the Czech legislation, Act 151/2000, and find that it has some similarities to the RTTE directive, but also has significant differences. It is also unclear how far they have moved in actually implementing the new law.
Do any members of the group have up-to-date information on the Czech requirements for approval of analog PSTN terminal equipment, such as a modem? The last I heard, applicants could either comply with an old Czech national standard that had unusual requirements for ringing impedance, or they could comply with TBR 21 and its unusual requirement for 60 mA current limiting. I would like to know if it is now possible to get approval in the Czech Republic for an analog PSTN modem that uses a more "worldwide" type of interface that has high ringing impedance and no 60 mA current limiter. Any insight that members may have on this would be greatly appreciated.
