Does anyone have any current information on telecom requirements in Switzerland? Hi Jeffrey: Last time I looked into this (about a year ago), Switzerland had incorporated the provisions of the RTTE directive into their national law. As you know, they are not legally obligated to follow the RTTE directive because they are not a member of the EU, but as a practical matter the requirements are the same. Even before the RTTE directive, the Swiss requirements were pretty straightforward. For analog PSTN requirements they took TBR 21 and made a few minor revisions. You will have to watch out for 12 KHz meter pulses, though, because these are still widespread on the Swiss network.
