Recently I reveiwed the list of harmonised standards (published by DG III) for use in relation to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. I was surprised to find that this list contained no ETSI standards - all CENELEC.
I understood that ETSI standards, due to the participation of EU member states in their drafting and their only being produced under mandate from the Commission, were also harmonised standards. ETS 300-386-2 is a product standard relating to EMC criteria for Telecomms Network Equipment and is the most relevant standard to our equipment (Digital Cross Connect and Transmission Equipment in general). Can/must this spec be used as the basis for making a Declaration of Conformity with the Directive ?
