Overview

On th August 18 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 1 has

been published in the Official Journal of the EC. The CTR 1 applies to all non

voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected

to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

CTR 1 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for

connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal

equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony

justified case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of

dual tone multifrequency signalling.

Network Compatibility Declaration

Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and the vendor:

“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed

to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-

working difficulties.”

Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will

indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any

notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties.

The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network

compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also

advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on

another network.”

Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals

using CTR 1. The results are Europe’s first modems which do not require

regulatory approvals in each individual European country.

Non-Voice Equipment

Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as

modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the

end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones

and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.
