The TS 103-021 series has been replaced by ES 203-021 series.

If you obtain an ES 203-021 test report it can be used in some countries outside the EU instead of carrying out local testing.

Thanks,
Chris.

While compliance with these standards is not a regulatory requirement,
some manufacturers (and their customers) feel more comfortable knowing
that a product meets these requirements.  In my judgment, the
requirements in the TS-103 021 series are pretty reasonable, especially
compared to the some of the per-country national requirements that were
mandatory prior to the implementation of the TTE directive in 2000.

So, it might be appropriate to at least review the requirements in the
TS 103 021 series and satisfy yourself that your product complies with
those requirements.  However, that would be a purely voluntary activity
because there is no regulatory requirement to meet those requirements.

If your product is a listen-only device that only looks for ringing,
only a small subset of the requirements in the TS 103 021 series would
be relevant, such as the impedance presented to ring signals and the
applicable thresholds for ring detection.  I think you will find the
requirements to be easy to meet.

I think this is very good advice.
