Dear Andre, In the EU, as ADSL systems are not approvable under the R&TTE Directive, and there is confusion as to whether ADSL is a TTE or Network equipment, the approvals issue is irrelevant. In other countries, where approvals are available for ADSL systems, the splitter can from part of the approval. In New Zealand, for example, the splitter must be used during the testing against PTC 270.
The splitters themselves have associated standards - for the EU, there are splitter tests in ITU G.992.1 Annex E, and also more detailed tests in TS 101 728 (for POTS, ISDN & microfilters). For the US, there are similar tests to the TS 101 728 contained in ANSI T1.413. There is also a UK specific test BT have developed under their 'shared line requirements'. Hope this helps.

Regarding the ADSL regulatory tests as in G.996.1 it appears no specific electrical tests due to the splitter itself. thanks for your answer Pierre-Marie Andre Intel Sophia Senior Approval Engineer
