The 60950 was the route I was wanting to take since I am more familiar with
that standard. I feel that I would be meeting the safety requirement of the
directive by applying that, but am also concerned with being as "correct" as
possible. I haven't dealt with the RTTE directive, so the information
concerning the input voltage limits was very helpful.
BTW: The headset is a pair of headphones with a boom mic attached.
Thank you for all your input - it has been VERY helpful.

Is a headset more like a telephone or more like a pair of headphones
with a boom mic attached?

IEC TC108 is currently engaged in combining IEC 60065 and IEC 60950 into
one unified standard. You are allowed to hold your breath, but figure on
holding it for ten years, at the current estimate.
