I am wary of this answer. Article 1, Paragragh 1 of the Telecom directive states "This Directive shall apply to terminal equipment." There is no exclusion for terminal equipment without a specified type or CTR. I agree without a CTR, National requirements take precedence for connection approval; however, I do not think this absolves us from the TTE directive, more specifically Article 9, as cited below. Especially in view of the fact that the CE mark for Telecom requires a Notified Body's insignia (Article 11, Paragragh 1). Since the EMC and Low Voltage directives allow self-declaration, the only demand for a Notified Body's participation is from Article 9.
