TTE Directive is mandatory in additionn to the EMC Directive and LVD. The TTE Directive requires third-party certification from a suitable Notified Body. You cannot self-declare like you can with the EMC Directive and LVD. > 2. Is Common Technical Requirement (CTR) 24 published and suitable for the EU, > or is some other country by country registration still needed? (Common Technical Regulation) CTR24 was harmonized on 19 September 1997 and can now be used for pan-European approval. > 3. Can anyone suggest a local (US) firm that can assist in this? > > J.
