From: "Taylor, Henry" <[email protected]> Subject: FW: E3 approval in Europe and elsewhere
Hi I believe that ETS 300 689 (ONP High Order Leased Lines) formed the basis used to create TBR24 (the fore runner of CTR24) for 34 Mbit/s CPE approval. Its (TBR24) public enquiry ended on the 1/12/95 & its vote is scheduled for the 5/8/96. The vote result to be declared on the 11/10/96. In the UK at present a national standard is being used known as NTR6 (PD7026) available from BSI. It is my understanding that where a "European wide" standard is then agreed that covers by scope, these national standards e.g BAKOM, then the CTR will become the regional standard that needs to be met in order to demonstrate compliance as part of a family of directives (emc, lvd etc ) in order to CE mark.

It was unclear if this document was a test procedure, but testing seems to be required. He also suggested that other European country's approval authorities may require approval for equipment with E3 interfaces. Since there is no CTR (or even TBR, correct me if I'm wrong) for this interface, requirements for approval are outside the scope of the Telecom Directive with regard to the one-stop-approval process. (1) Are there test labs in the US that can test to the Swiss (and hopefully other European country's) requirements? Will they be able to produce or acquire a TEC (or equivalent) from a recognized lab/competent body that BAKOM would accept? (2) What other countries in Europe and elsewhere require approval of E3 equipment? What are the standards? Are they all equivalent? Is one stop testing possible? Please send responses to me at [email protected] and copy TREG. Thanks in advance for your help. R. Grant Pinto Alcatel Data Networks 703-724-2759
