1.2-D EWG draft July 18
Pass through
The following two paragraphs are the same as in the original 508...
Products that transmit or conduct information or communication must pass
through cross-manufacturer, non-proprietary, industry-standard codes,
translation protocols, formats or other information necessary to provide
the information or communications in a usable format.
Technologies which use encoding, signal compression, format
transformation, or similar techniques must not remove information needed
for access, or must restore it upon delivery.
New language added:
Firewalls, routers, gateways and other products that pass real-time
voice communication must also pass real-time text communication signals
(including mixed voice and real-time text) that are standard for that
technology platform without distortion or error beyond 1%.
Note: Only phones that are passing text signals onto another device e.g.
TTY, would be subject to this provision

1194.23(h) Magnetic Coupling
2.3-A EWG draft July 18
As a subcommittee you already agreed to the following language apart
from the last sentence which has been changed slightly according to TIA
suggestion and approved today on the call. The provision is shared by
Hardware and will be put out to the Hardware list.
Telecommunications products that deliver output with an audio
transducer, which is normally held up to the ear, must provide a means
for effective magnetic wirless coupling to hearing technologies that
allows a user to effectively utilize the product. This guideline shall
apply to wireline and wireless technologies.(changed from "this
guideline applies to wireless, wireline, cordless and Bluetooth
applications")
