[NTLK] AW: AW: Another MP120 Question

Michael,

of course you are completely right, I was a bit confused this morning.
It is really special that the BZT sign is on the bottom of the Newt, since you cannot connect it directly to a telephone line.
But as I learned from many other cases: especially the people dealing with standardization and conformity also make errors and
the standards itself are not to be seen as a bible, expected to contain the absolute truth...

Cheers
Johannes

Johannes,

only devices capable of being connected to a telephone line needed the
BZT's approval ("T" is for "Telekommunikation"); CE conformity is
something completely different. While the BZT approval was still
necessary, BZT and CE existed in parallel and the MP120 is a case in
point: on the underside, there's the BZT's eagle _and_ the CE logo.

I wonder on what kind of non-telecommunications equipment you found the
BZT eagle!? Maybe you are confusing the BZT's logo with the (rather
similar looking) ZFF logo as found on TV sets and such?
