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? GE Interlogix John A. Juhasz Product Qualification & Compliance Engr.
