INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION (IEC) COM-
Meets IEC standards 801.2, 801.4 and 801.5 (CE Mark)
Effective January 1996 the European Economic Community will
require that all electronic devices be tested and comply with all appli-
cable International standards relating to the product type and category
of use. Electromagetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC specifically
addresses communication line surge protection devices, since con-
formity to immunity standard EN50082-1:1992 is mandatory. The
EN50082-1:10992 standard incorporates International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) publications 801.2 and 801.4, which describe
Electrostatic Discharge and Electrical Fast Transient requirements.
ISO 801.5 describes Surge Immunity Requirements and is expected to
be adopted as a mandatory requirement under EN50082-1 by the
Technical Committee. in 1996. Any protector sold into the international
community must meet these standards. This device has been tested*
and found to comply with these standards as evidenced by its CE
mark.
