Chris, In your subject and ending you specify telephone headsets; in the body of your message you specify connection to audio amplifiers.
For telephone headsets: use EN 60 950 and the RTTE Directive. Note the limit of 50 Vac/75 Vdc is not applicable under the RTTE Directive. There is really not much to comply with under EN 60 950 except for the flammability fo materials - the standard does not yet address acoustic requirements as in the UL60950 requirements. For audio/video equipment: use EN 60065 however, the LVD does not apply because of the 50 Vac/75 Vdc cutofff as mentioned in your e-mail. In this case, you may wish to consider complying with the EMC Directive and just make a declaration based on engineering judgement.

Poore [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 4:02 PM To: EMC-PSTC Subject: Telephone headsets We have some telephone headsets that we want to CE Mark, but are not sure what safety standard to use. Additionally, I don't see any category under the CE Marking directive that would be entirely applicable. The LVD seems most logical, except that the input voltage to the headsets is well below the 75DC, 50AC cutoff. The headsets will connect to an OEM audio amplifier that has been evaluated to the LVD, and seems to contain all the necessary isolation (we are not even selling the amplifier). The primary reason for wanting to CE Mark is because a competitor is doing it. Is there a safety standard that we should use that is specific to these telephone headsets for EU compliance?
