I do not think that IP phone is under the RTTE directive. For a simple reason, voltage is limited to 48 V (SELV) and the phone itself is a SELV unit with a microphone, a speaker and a fancy LCD. Clearly if we "try hard" we may squeeze an IP phone under the RTTE directive, but the proper compliance path should be LVD.
I would be surprised if an IP phone manufacturer test their product under the RTTE. ---------------------------------------------------- Ilan Cohen Manager, Telecom Division I.T.L (PRODUCT TESTING) Ltd. 26 Hacharoshet St, POB 211, Or Yehuda, Israel.

AIUI, it falls into the category in which the manufacturer can choose either RTTE or LVD + EMCD. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
