Jan, Ok. Common Technical Regulations (CTR's) are not standards. A CTR is a technical regulation which refers to a (harmonized) standard and the Directive for which it's publication is intended. The CTR's published until now only refer to the TTE-SES Directive 98/13.
A standard becomes a harmonized standard of a Directive when it has been linked to a Directive by the European Commission. A list will normally be notified to the public in the "C" issue of the Official Journal. Currently there are no harmonized standards linked to the R&TTE directive 99/5. The R&TTE Directive refers to the CTR's for transitional period purposes. ETSI does develop (harmonized) standards but the fact is that there are still none linked to the R&TTE Directive at this moment.
