Hi Forum, I have had one kind gentleman offer his advice on this topic. I would be very grateful if a few other knowledgable people could offer a comment. I will summarize the comments for those who answer me direct. Sorry to have troubled you again.
Previously, production assembly line testing on analogue modems (to be connected to the Public Switched Telecommunications Network, PSTN) critical parameters were a must to meet the Approvals bodies requirement i.e. before you could attach the Notified Bodies Approvals label e.g. BABT in the UK. Q1. Since deregulation i.e. introduction of the R&TTED I would assume that this is no longer required? Q2. I would probably still do a few audit tests for the Dielectric Withstand (Safety) and PSTN (TBR21) parameters per a batch of products. Do you agree this would suffice? Q3. What about TIA/EIA/IS-968 (FCC Part 68) and CS-03 (Canada), are assembly line tests required? Q4. Any country require assembly line tests for analogue modems PSTN? Thanks in advance for all comments!
