I forgot one - the Battery Directive applies to all batteries.

The RTTE Directive would apply if the equipment intentionally
transmits or receives using the rf spectrum or if the equipment connects to
the telephone network. The Machinery Directive would apply if moving parts
present higher risks than electrical hazards (see the directive for the
details).

Good morning!
I am faced with coming up with a regulatory strategy for
equipment that
will be sold to a foreign military (member of the EU). The
equipment is
entirely military and has military unique attributes. The
products range
from battery operated hand held devices to laptops that can
use a battery
adapter which plugs into the mains.
All units have LI-ION batteries and High voltage inverters
for powering the
LCD backlight.
Some have a standard PCMIA card slot which will allow the
user to install a
commercial modem if he chooses. We do not provide this card
I have reviewed the LVD and EMC directives and find no
exclusion for
military equipment. Is there?
What other directives may be applicable?
Thanks in advance
