The present document specifies the physical and electrical characteristics (except safety, overvoltage and EMC aspects) and corresponding test principles for a terminal equipment interface for connection to the network termination points of Open Network Provision (ONP) ordinary quality or special quality voice bandwidth 2-wire analogue leased lines defined by EN 300 448 [4] and EN 300 449 [5].

The present document is written only to ensure that the interface of the terminal equipment is compatible with the ONP ordinary quality or special quality voice bandwidth 2-wire analogue leased line. It is applicable to all interfaces designed for connection to these leased lines, however in the cases of apparatus that carries a particular service, of complex apparatus and of apparatus in private networks, other requirements may apply in addition to the present document.
