Hello, world.  I have been able to acquire some informative articles about
the harmonization processes now going on in Europe.  Unfortunately, the
articles fail to provide the names, numbers, descriptions, and ordering
information for the specific standards and directives that
are applicable for [LAN, PC, network MUX, premises MUX] manufacturers
wishing to do business in Europe.

In particular, I am interested in finding out about the EEC Directive 73/23,
"regarding low voltage equipment pluggable to power supply".  What is the
scope and availability of this Directive, and how does it relate to
getting electronic (information technology) equipment through customs?
What test standards are associated with this Directive, and what public
or private test organizations can provide testing certifications that are
accepted throughout Europe?  I imagine others will be interested in
the same information, so please post replies to the net, with world
distribution.

Thank you!
