INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION (IEC)
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
applicable 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 conformity 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
