Anyone familiar with the telecom requirements for LAN/WAN type equipment - T1/E1, T3/DS3/E3, and Serial which : * May connect to cables longer than 3m in length * The DC power ports are not intended to connect to outdoor cables. No signal ports connect to outdoor cables. Hi Jeff: Has this equipment already been tested for CE marking? If you have test reports for EN 60950, EN 55022, and EN 55024, I think you will find that these represent a super set of any safety and EMC tests that are called out in the countries you listed. The administrative process for actually gaining approval in these countries will vary, with some countries accepting your existing reports and (possibly) others requiring repeat testing with national standards and/or nationally accredited labs. However, on a technical level, for the countries you listed, I am not aware of any safety or EMC requirements that exceed the European requirements. >From a regulatory perspective, the telecom aspects for T1/E1 and T3/DS3/E3 are fairly well standardized internationally, so I would not expect any technical barriers. You may have to do some repeat testing, though.
