Hi Zohar: The Scope of EN41003 reads:
"This standard applies to equipment designed and intended to be connected to a TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK termination. It does not apply to equipment covered by EN60950." Therefore, equipment intended to connect to the network that is not ITE (for example Test and Measuring, Process Control, Laboratory equipment, and whatever others) should use EN41003 for the requirements to be applied to the network connection. As internet applications proliferate, more and more product categories other than ITE will likely need to use these requirements. Although EN41003 references EN60950 in a number of areas, not all of the EN60950 clause 6 requirements are referenced, and EN41003 adds a few other requirements. Also, EN41003 has an interesting Annex C which describes why telecommunication voltages which exceed "safe to touch limits set within general safety standards" are actually "electrically safe". I hope that helps some. Richard Payne Richard Payne Tektronix, Inc.
