Dan, Please note excerpts from R&TTE Directive:
Article 20 Repeal 1. Directive 98/13/EC is hereby repealed as from 8 April 2000. 2. This Directive is not a specific directive within the meaning of Article 2(2) of Directive 89/336/EEC. The provisions of Directive 89/336/EEC shall not apply to apparatus falling within the scope of this Directive, with the exception of the protection requirements in Article 4 and Annex III and the conformity assessment procedure in Article 10(1) and (2) of, and Annex I to, Directive 89/336/EEC, as from 8 April 2000. 3. The provisions of Directive 73/23/EEC shall not apply to apparatus falling within the scope of this Directive, with the exceptions of the objectives with respect to safety requirements in Article 2 and Annex I and the conformity assessment procedure in Annex III, Section B, and Annex IV to Directive 73/23/EEC, as from 8 April 2000. the above pulls telecom equipment out from coverage by the EMC Directive and the following requires compliance, under the R&TTE Directive, with both the EMC & LV Directives. Article 3 Essential requirements 1. The following essential requirements are applicable to all apparatus: (a) the protection of the health and the safety of the user and any other person, including the objectives with respect to safety requirements contained in Directive 73/23/EEC, but with no voltage limit applying; (b) the protection requirements with respect to electromagnetic compatibility contained in Directive 89/336/EEC. 2. In addition, radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communication and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference. 3. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15, the Commission may decide that apparatus within certain equipment classes or apparatus of particular types shall be so constructed that: (a) it interworks via networks with other apparatus and that it can be connected to interfaces of the appropriate type throughout the Community; and/or that (b) it does not harm the network or its functioning nor misuse network resources, thereby causing an unacceptable degradation of service; and/or that (c) it incorporates safeguards to ensure that the personal data and privacy of the user and of the subscriber are protected; and/or that (d) it supports certain features ensuring avoidance of fraud; and/or that (e) it supports certain features ensuring access to emergency services; and/or that (f) it supports certain features in order to facilitate its use by users with a disability. I hope that you find this helpful. Best Regards, Barbara _______________________________________ Barbara L.
