I am looking for help rationalizing when a product must be evaluated to the LVD. Hi Chris: I agree with others who have stated that the presence of a phone line interface for the modem makes testing to EN 60950 seem appropriate. I would probably be inclined to use EN 60950 partly because it is so widely recognized. If the view is that this product is really industrial control equipment that happens to have a phone line port, another possibility might be to use EN 41003, which I believe is still valid but is seldom used. This standard was created to address situations where non-ITE products have an interface to a phone line. It pretty much duplicates clause 6 in EN 60950. Depending on the physical construction of the product, there might be a way to tie an EN 41003 approval (or even an EN 60950 approval) to the modem itself, so that only the optional modem would need the additional approval that your supplier is resisting.
