Hi Mark,
OK, here we go again. I'm going to give you my position on this and
you will most assuredly hear from others with their position. You state
which interfaces you DO NOT have but you do not state which interfaces you
DO have. So, I am going to assume that you do not connect directly or
indirectly by any means whatsoever to interfaces of the public
telecommunications networks.
My interpretation is that the R&TTE Directive does not apply. The
applicable Directives to LEGALLY ship your product into the EU are the EMCD
and LVD. The standards are most likely EN 60950 and EN 300 386-x. I do not
believe that EN 300 019 is a legal requirement for sale in the EU. Your
customer, however, will most likely impose procurement requirements which
could include EN 300 019 and protocol testing (depending on your
interfaces).
In summary, to LEGALLY ship, satisfy the EMCD and LVD. You need to
request the test requirements from your customer and consult with your local
test lab with the specifics of your product.
OK, have at me.
Thx,
Joe

Subject: Italian Homologation process
Hi,
do you know if is it any homologation process involve in order to sell in
Italy?
The product does not have any telecomm ( phone/DSL ) interfaces, but it
should be installed in Central Office type environment.
Should DoC and Environmental testing (ETSI 300 019) be enough?
Is any protocol testing involved?
Where can I find any official information?
We have been requested to provide certificate of homologation of the
products from Ministry of Communications.
Any information and comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Gandler
