Hello:

The document is ETS 300 047 for BASIC RATE interfaces.  However, it only 
addresses the S/T etc. interfaces, not the U-interface, for reasons that Vic 
described previously.  ETS 300046 for PRI rate.

There is an ETSI document that gives all ISDN interfaces (in Europe) and
what safety requirements out of EN 60950 apply at each interface. Only
thing I am not sure of after all those years (ISDN is a bit of an old
technology) is whether it addresses interfaces inside the Central Office. 
It was intended to cover interfaces at the Customer Premises, as I recall. 
 Sorry but don't have the number of that document any longer.   In any
event, safety and EMC standards are not concerned with technologies, so if
you apply 60950, you should be alright as long as you know what to expects
at the interfaces that you work.  E.g., does your modem sit behind the CO
carbon protectors and heatcoils ?  Do you know what degree of
isolation/protection from lightning and overvoltages those provide in the
types of Central Offices that you will deploying your devices ??

I may be proven wrong, but I doubt that you can get that info at any
WEBsite.
I also doubt that you will get a uniform pan-European answer.  I suggest
that 
you go back to your marketing people and ask them what their target markets

are before going on a wild goose chase.

Ciao,


Vic
