CE Approval / UK requirements

ISDN CE Approval / UK requirements


A CE Approval Mark is similar to a BABT Approval.
CE Approval applies to ISDN equipment
BABT Approval applies to PSTN equipment

You should always ensure that ISDN equipment has the CE Approval just like all the ZyXEL ISDN equipment we supply (picture on the right).

Furthermore all the ZyXEL products we supply come with original UK power supplies and PSTN converter.

All the ZyXEL ISDN products we supply have been tested with ISDN2e and BT Highway lines at the

BT Laboratories in Martlesham, Ipswich
