John,
A few years ago, the European Commission has determined that there is no
need for technical requirements against which to assess wired
telecommunication products. Further work on the technical basis for
regulation (TBRs) has been suspended and many CTRs (CTR 21 included) have
been removed from the list of harmonized standards under the R&TTE
Directive. The only requirements deemed essential for wired
telecommunication apparatus are the safety and EMC requirements.

Please respond to John
Juhasz
Having been out of the telecom arena for a few years, I am seeking some
clarification on
the R&TTE Directive as it relates to a single-line, simple, analog POTS
unit.
With regard to specific testing of the telephone interface, the way I am
reading the
directive and associated guidance documents on Europa.EU
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/gener.htm
it appears that it is not required to test the interface itself to
'telecom specs' such as those in the CTR21.
Testing to those specs is recommended only to ensure that the
product works properly when connected to the PSTN and it doesn't
harm the network.
Am I misunderstanding this?
