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).

Subject: Military Equimpment and the EU
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
