Bob, each EEA member state has implemented the RTTE into national law. Those national laws apply to your product. However, you may rely upon following the requirements of the actual RTTE Directive. For your product, the applicable radio standards are EN 300 330-1 and EN300330-2. The latter is published in the OJ. Note that the RTTE directive requires compliance with "health and safety" which are code words for human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC applies for public limits and ICNIRP 1998 guidelines apply for worker limits. CENELEC EMF standards have been approved at the national level but not yet published. They are prEN50357 and prEN50364.
Note that the frequency is not harmonized, so the appropriate procedures of the RTTE must be followed.

It incorporates a low power transmitter/receiver operating at 134kHz. I am familiar with the LVD and EMCD requirements, but unable to determine RTTE applicability, or whether U.K. National regulations apply. Any help would be most appreciated. adTHANKSvance, -Bob Sykes Marconi Commerce Systems ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
