CAUTION! The Notified Body is not optional. The ISM band is not
harmonized. The transmitter is a class 2 product and member countries may
have restrictions. Further, the EC authority of each memeber country must
be notified 4 weeks prior to placing on the market and a fee of $500 is
required. Contacting a NB is good advice.
Dale.

The ETSI standard you refer to is actually ETS 300 328, and you can retrieve
a copy from www.etsi.org
Your transmitter module would certainly fall under the scope of the R&TTE
Directive. I would contact a European notified body, and pay them to tell
you which standards you need to meet. Then, test to those standards, which
are likely to include radio performance and EMC and safety. Then, have them
assess the test reports for compliance to the R&TTE Directive. FInally, you
can then declare conformity to the applicable directive, and that you meet
"all essential requirements" and put the CE Mark on the product and sell it
in the EU.
If you have never been through this (and because the R&TTE is new as of
April most people have not) it pays to get a Notified Body and test lab
helping you along.

Mr. Woods informed me of missing data from my first e-mail - sorry about
that!
Equipment is medical (EN60601-1 Safety, EN60601-1-2 EMI)
Countries: USA, Canada and Europe at this time
There is also an option to use a short range telemetry unit with this device
to transmit patient data. It is spread spectrum at 2.4 GHz. Is an OEM
configuration which we repackage (the transmitter) into the battery back
(+12V) worn my the athlete/patient. It does not have CE, but is complaint
with ETSI 300.28 (I'm not sure what this is it yet)and FCC (which I still
have not seen any FCC cert. yet). Does the telemetry module fall under the
scope of the RTTE directive?
If I'm missing any other pertinent information please advise.
Thank you

Good Day Forum Members
I have a very similar question that Barry Ma presented on 7-13. It
regarded
a Ethernet port on test equipment. His question was as follows:
1. A phone line port has to comply with related regulations in
Telecom
world. In my recollection, PC industry just added an Immunity
requirement to
the phone line port. (It is included in EN55024?) But Ethernet can
be
converted to phone line through an adapter. Is there a similar
immunity
requirement for the Ethernet port in test equipment? If not, should
it be
added to EN61326?
My dilemma is that my company "inherited" a piece of equipment via
an
earlier acquisition. On this piece of equipment they incorporated an
RJ-11
telecom jack. Over this jack they are running power (+12V & pwr gnd)
from a
remote battery pack and RS-232 (Tx & Rx)comm which terminates to a
PC. Can
anyone provide me with some insight with regards to EMI/RFI
requirements and
device safety (I have somewhat of a handle on the safety side - but
welcome
other opinions!). None of these four lines have any type of safety
(over
current/voltage) protection nor any EMI filtering, etc. If you can
provide
some insight or reference to required standards I would appreciate
it
Thank You (in advance)
