Hello, world. I have been able to acquire some informative articles about the harmonization processes now going on in Europe. Unfortunately, the articles fail to provide the names, numbers, descriptions, and ordering information for the specific standards and directives that are applicable for [LAN, PC, network MUX, premises MUX] manufacturers wishing to do business in Europe. In particular, I am interested in finding out about the EEC Directive 73/23, "regarding low voltage equipment pluggable to power supply". What is the scope and availability of this Directive, and how does it relate to getting electronic (information technology) equipment through customs? What test standards are associated with this Directive, and what public or private test organizations can provide testing certifications that are accepted throughout Europe? I imagine others will be interested in the same information, so please post replies to the net, with world distribution. Thank you!

Cc: Norm (good name, considering), I'm posting because I get ``Mail to `nea' alias `ssn=' from `att!tsa.co.uk!domo' failed.'' when I mail you. Anyway... I can't answer your question directly. However, it sounds as if you need the CEN Catalogue 1990, which lists all accepted European regional standards (as opposed to the standards of individual nations). The ISBN is 92-9097-012-X, and it has also an ISSN: 1015-8251. You can call CEN in Brussels on +32 2 519 61 11 or fax them on +32 2 519 68 19 to find out how best to obtain the catalogue and the standards it lists. Hope this helps. -- Dominic Dunlop
