Rob Hi! I assume that the "ADSL" modem is connected to the phone line through an external splitter. If you find an approved splitter having the required TNV-3 to TNV-1 insulation, and you specify the specific splitter in your manual, I gather that your interface can be TNV-1. If no such splitter is specified, then the interface should be classified TNV-3.
Now a question to the group - is anyone familiar with external Listed/Certified splitters that have the TNV-3 - TNV-1 insulation?

DSL modems connect to the standard telecom network yet they do not require a ring signal or go on/off hook, therefore the classification would be TNV-1. Yet there are ring signals still present on the telecom lines for the the other equipment. So, because of the ring signals, which would exceed the limits of SELV, connecting to the input the modem, should the classification be TNV-3. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
