Alex, I think your matrix is a great idea but for Australia and NZ (Australia in particular) it is not that simple to cover all the compliance issues for your product categories in a matrix this simple.
Joe Randolph was correct about PSTN standards for Australia and NZ (AS/ACIF S002 and PTC 200). Concerning safety, ACA TS001:1997 is the present requirement. This should change very soon however to allow compliance with either AS/NZS 60950:2000 or TS001. AS/NZS 60950:2000 = IEC 60950 + Australian national deviations. There is likely to be a brief transitional period where compliance with either standard is acceptable then TS001 will be withdrawn and compliance with AS/NZS 60950:2000 will be required. For Australia and NZ there is a large amount of information required to be added concerning your major categories: - "If Modem - ISDN" - "If Wireless - Short Range - Bluetooth" - "If Wireless - Short Range - 433 MHz" - "If Wireless - Long Range - GSM" - "If Wireless - Long Range - CDMA" Unfortunately I can not spare the time here to populate your matrix for you for Australia and NZ. Sorry. If you really want to work on adding more information for Australia and NZ please contact me direct.
