Hi Folks, I heard something about the TTE Directive getting changed in some way to include Earth Satellite (ie., VSAT-type) equipment. Of particular interest was the (verbal) inference that the EMC requirements could be satisfied without having to go through the European Type Approval rigamaro

Just a quick thought regarding Mexican product safety regulations. I find it rather interesting that there even exists a Mexican regulation with regard to ITE equipment.

Danny, this is an off the cuff reply, with no references to back it up, but my understanding is that a NOM mark is required of all ITE equipment. UL, CSA, CE, etc will not satisfy that requirement. The NOM mark can only be obtained by someone in Mexico making the submittal. This can be an agent
