George and Courtland, It's my understanding that the mentioned item 21 Telecommunication Terminal Equipment seems not applicable to the RS-232 Aysnch to Synch converter. I thought it's for products like telephone and Modem, etc.
For the mentioned product, generally we will consider about two kinds of certification, safety and EMC. Since there is a little difference on certification system between China and EU that EU-LVD specifies the voltage ranges but China controls the categories, I would say that the RS-232 Aysnch to Synch converter is not within the scope of the China CCIB regulated categories. For reference, ITE products vs CCIB related categories (conforms to GB 4943) are: 1. Personal computer 2. Visual display unit 3. Switching power supply 4. Printer 5. Telecommunication terminal equipment * Personal computer was compulsive to be China CCIB "Safety" certified from 1-Oct-1996. * TTE equipment was compulsive to be China CCIB "Safety" certified from 1-Oct-1997. Starting from January 1, 2000, EMC Requirements (conforms to GB 9354) came into force for the following six kinds of import products: 1. Personal computer 2. Visual display unit 3. Switching power supply 4. Printer 5. Television set 6. Audio equipment Regards, Anderson Cheng High Tech Computer, Corp.
