Hi Dan, You will need part 68 testing for US. A fairly large number of labs do this now. The requirement to file for a license has been simplified in the last couple of years. Make sure the design team knows that they must pass the key tests: The 600V AC power cross test (UL1459) and the metallic/longitudinal surges (Part 68). The surge testing requires the modem survive the low current stress without damage and that under no circumstances will a damaged modem ever hold the line off hook. It is very difficult to pull this off without a fuse element and it is a bit of a juggling match to make sure that the fuse and crowbar device work together to meet the criteria. If you want to sell in Canada, you will need to file for an Industry Canada registration number and provide the appropriate French text in your manual. The same lab that does you Part 68 should be able to handle this for you. Good Luck! Dave Spencer Oresis Communications

We intend to build a 2400 Baud telephone modem into a new ISM product. We will conduct all tests for ISM applicable to our product line, including FCC Part 15 and UL 508 and UL1604, but we are unfamiliar with telephone line connectivity. Can anyone tell me what FCC or other requirements will need to be met for sale of this product in the U.S.; no intention at this time to sell outside the U.S. Thanks Dan Kinney Horner APG, LLC Indianapolis, IN ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
