Dick, the RTTE applies. ETSI standards exist for RF LAN (I don't know this
standard number, it may be the one you mentioned) and Short Range Devices
(I-ETS 300 440) operating in the 2.4 GHz band. One of these standards may be
applicable to your use. You can search and download for free at
http://www.etsi.org/ <http://www.etsi.org/> . Of course, FCC part 15 applies
in the US, and Canada has a similar standard which you can find at
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/sc_mrksv/spectrum/engdoc/spect1.html
<http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/sc_mrksv/spectrum/engdoc/spect1.html> .
Of course, you already know that the port must comply with the medical
safety and emc standards you listed. If the interface cable is routed
through the building, the circuits and wiring will have to comply with the
appropriate section of the US National Electrical Code (same story in
Canada). See Section 725 which covers Class 2 circuits.

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)
